A recent study conducted by researchers from the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences aimed to compare the level of dental fear and anxiety (DFA) among adults from different occupational groups. The study involved 422 respondents from four occupational groups: physicians, teachers, industry workers, and artists. The results showed that DFA levels differed significantly across the occupational groups, with the lowest mean scores among physicians and the highest mean scores among artists. The study also found that self-esteem had a significant impact on DFA among physicians, teachers, and artists, but not among industry workers. These findings can provide valuable insights for dental practitioners in developing tailored approaches to reduce DFA in their patients. [Extracted from the article] |
