“…In this study, the results of the bivariate analysis using nonparametric tests between MDAS and DFS scores showed a p value of < 0.05, which means that the difference is statistically significant between the MDAS and DFS scores of respondents who visited the dentist (MDAS: 9.00[9.91±3.86]; DFS: 30.00[33.07±11.17]) and those who never visited the dentist (MDAS: 11.00 [11.50±4.68]; DFS: 34.00[37.48±14.43]). This was in line with the research conducted by Doganer et al, 20 which showed higher anxiety in participants evading dental treatment than those attending regular appointments. Therefore, patients with fear tend to keep their dental appointments only when necessary (e.g.…”

Background: The anxiety associated with dental visits is one of the obstacles preventing dentists from improving oral health and is also a significant predictor of dental visit evasion, which is frequently observed in Indonesia. Purpose: To identify the level of dental fear and anxiety in the population of Jakarta, Indonesia and establish the relationship with sociodemographic factors. Methods: A cross-sectional method was used with a sample size of 1811 respondents aged 17–65 years old who were asked to complete the validated Indonesian versions of modified dental anxiety scale (MDAS) and dental fear scale (DFS) questionnaires. The data obtained was then analysed using nonparametric and chi-square tests. Results: The prevalence of subjects with moderate to high dental anxiety and fear was 16.3% (295 respondents) and 36.1% (654 respondents), respectively. The primary sources of dental fear and anxiety were dental drilling and anaesthesia before tooth extraction. The results of the nonparametric and chi-square tests show that both are significantly related to gender, age, educational status, income level, insurance and history of dental visits (p = < 0.05). Conclusion: Several sociodemographic factors are associated with dental fears and anxiety among the participants in Jakarta, Indonesia.

“…A national report on the monitoring of oral and dental health also denounced dental anxiety as a reason for avoiding visits to the dentist for almost one in five people . Doganer et al in 2017 showed that high dental anxiety led to a reduced rate of control and these patients only went to the clinic if they had pain . Although some progress is made in teaching communication skills, it is mainly nonspecific, given frequently by medical teachers and not aimed at controlling fear.…”

“…The phobia of the dentist is thus considered as a specific phobia . Dental anxiety (DA), a psychological response to aversion following an ill‐defined or not immediately present stimulus perceived as potentially dangerous, predisposes to a negative experience in the office . The main effects of the dentist's fear are poor oral health, the maintenance of a vicious circle of avoidance to make appointments, and/or regular non‐presentation at appointments.…”

Background: Dental anxiety is a psychological response inducing aversion following a dental ill-defined stimulus, non-imminent and perceived as potentially dangerous. It is better to intervene during childhood than to resolve in adulthood when dental anxiety is more settled. Aim: The purpose of this study is to determine the nature of dental anxiety-provoking stimuli in young patients. Design: A questionnaire was submitted to 566 children between 3 to 18 years in health institutions and schools in Brussels, Belgium. The items were divided into 3 groups: environment (ENV), local anaesthesia (LA), and intervention (INT) and summarized through averaging per group. Descriptive analysis and non-parametric testing were combined with logistic regression after discretization, above mild, for the group averages. Results: About 7.2% of the respondents expressed high to severe dental anxiety.Several items presented a clear bimodal distribution dividing the population in fearless and fearing patients, for example, sight and feel of the syringe, sight and taste of blood and extraction. Others presented with a gradually lower incidence with increasing fear level. Fear for the environment was generally low. Gender and ethnic origin contribute significantly to the prediction of fear caused by LA. For fear caused by INT, first the place of questioning enters the models, thereafter follow: negative experience, frequency of dental visit, and gender (P < .05). Conclusions: While the dental environment is in general not causing fear, the invasive part of the anaesthesia and the invasive dental procedures are involved. Fear seems to be related to culture, previous experience, and gender. K E Y W O R D Schild, dental anxiety, etiology, pediatric dentistry, stimuli

“…As secreções frente a um agente estressor produzirão efeitos a nível sistêmico, como: aumento da ativação orgânica, alteração térmica, aumento da PA e taquicardia, aumentando o metabolismo e desencadeando os sintomas de ansiedade. 25 Durante a rotina clínica, a ansiedade vivida pelos pacientes é comumente observada. De acordo com Kakkar et al 26 (2016) em estudo realizado com 250 alunos, 42% das crianças com idades de 10 a 14 anos haviam vivenciado o medo de tratamento odontológico.…”

Objetivo: O presente estudo tem por objetivo descrever através de uma revisão de literatura sobre a ocorrência de alterações significativas na pressão arterial sistêmica de pacientes submetidos a procedimentos cirúrgicos odontológicos. Metodologia: Esta revisão de literatura foi conduzida por meio das seguintes bases de dados: Pubmed, Scielo e Google Scholar. As palavras-chave para a busca textual foram: Cirurgia Oral (Surgery, Oral); Hipertensão (Hypertension); Ansiedade (Anxiety); Odontologia (Dentistry). Já os critérios de inclusão foram: Literatura que aborde a temática em estudo, Literatura dos últimos anos, Idioma: Inglês e Português, estudos laboratoriais e clínicos e revisão sistemática. Os critérios de exclusão foram: revisão de literatura, carta ao editor, artigo de opinião, literatura duplicada em bases de dados e literatura que não abordasse as variáveis em estudo. Revisão de Literatura: Durante a prática clínica o cirurgião-dentista lida rotineiramente com pacientes sistemicamente comprometidos. Dentre eles encontram-se os pacientes hipertensos que necessitam de uma atenção diferenciada devido a diversos fatores externos que podem influenciar sua condição sistêmica. Conclusão: Existe uma variação da Pressão Arterial durante todo procedimento cirúrgico odontológico, o momento que essa alteração torna-se mais evidente é após a anestesia; estas variações por sua vez podem ser atribuídas à ansiedade e ao estresse causado pelo ato cirúrgico; a redução do estresse bem como o controle da ansiedade e do medo frente a um tratamento odontológico são benefícios no atendimento de pacientes hipertensos.
