| Popis: | A telephone survey using random sample of residents of the municipality of Aarhus were interviewed about dental treatment fear and characteristics of any pre-existing anxiety. Results showed that 4.2% of 539 residents surveyed had extreme anxiety and 6% were moderately afraid. Results of dental anxiety, especially in the odontophobiia group, were years of avoidance of treatment and associated poor subjective perceptions of oral health. Logistic analyses revealed that although dental drilling was the identifying feature of dental anxiety characteristics, the drill could be symbolic for the many persons who perceived dentists as treating them with putdowns, angry comments and hardhandedness. Other persons suffered from multiple fears, which may have an accumulative effect on dental treatment anxiety. A conceptual model is presented as derived from present results and existing clinical and epidemiologic literature |
