Objective: The objective was to assess dental anxiety and to find its association with oral health status and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among 20–40-year-old patients visiting Vokkaligara Sangha Dental College and Hospital. Materials and Methods: A single-center, hospital-based cross-sectional study was done among first-time dental visitors in the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Vokkaligara Sangha Dental College and Hospital over a period of 8 months (July 14–February 18). The sample size was determined to be 700. Participants in the age group of 20–40 years were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using Corah's Modified Dental Anxiety Scale, Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14), and clinical examination was done using the WHO oral health assessment form and OHI-S. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test and t -test. The associations found through bivariate analysis were entered as predictor variables into linear and binomial logistic regression models with high dental anxiety as the outcome variable. Results: The results of the study suggested that 56% of the study participants were having dental anxiety. Local anesthetic injection (80%) and fear of tooth drilling (60%) were the most anxiety-provoking stimulus. Analysis of OHIP-14 suggested that respondents perceiving oral health as affecting their life quality (very often/fairly often) in the past year were observed for items such as tension, difficulty to relax, irritability, difficulty in doing usual jobs, and totally unable to function because of oral problems. Dental anxiety was significantly associated with gender (odds ratio [OR] = 1.32), education (OR = 1.43), occupation (OR = 2.07), poor oral hygiene status (OR = 3.15), presence of dental caries (OR = 2.67), bleeding on probing (OR = 1.57), presence of periodontal pockets (OR = 2.64), clinical attachment loss (OR = 1.63), and OHRQoL (OR = 1.76). Stepwise linear regression model of independent variables (<0.05 variables included) explained dental caries as highest predictor (39%), followed by debris (22%), calculus (38%), mean OHIS (27%), mean OHIP-14 (29%), deep pocket (14%), and the least predictor was shallow pocket (9%). Conclusion: Dental anxiety was associated with poor oral health status seeking further attention to modify patients' behavior regarding improvement in oral health status.

“…Tabel 7 menunjukkan bahwa skor DMF-T 4-7 merupakan jumlah terbanyak yaitu 18 anak (45%), dan paling sedikit pada skor 12-15 sebanyak 1 anak (2,5%). Hal ini dikarenakan anak yang takut dengan dokter gigi memiliki kesehatan rongga mulut yang rendah dengan angka kejadian karies yang tinggi, 12 dan kecemasan dental juga memiliki efek negatif terhadap kebersihan mulut yang dapat meningkatkan index DMF-T. 13 Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ditemukan kategori cemas ringan menempati posisi tertinggi dengan skor DMF-T masingmasing 0-3 sebanyak 11 anak (27,5%), posisi terendah ditemukan pada kategori cemas berat dengan skor DMF-T 0-3 dan 4-7 masing-masing sebanyak 1 orang (2,5) (Tabel 8). Hasil penelitian hubungan kecemasan terhadap perawatan gigi dengan indeks DMF-T pada anak usia 10-12 tahun di SD Negeri 27 Manado menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat hubungan bermakna antara kecemasan dan index DMF-T. Hasil pengujian dengan menggunakan uji korelasi sederhana Pearson mendapatkan nilai P >0,05 (P = 0,472).…”

Subjects were children aged 10–12 years old who had experienced tooth treatment. This was an analytical descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. Data were obtained by using Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS) questionnaire and DMF-T examination. The data were analyzed with the Pearson simple correlation test. The results showed that of 40 subjects, 7 children (17.5%) were not anxious for dental care, 24 children (60%) were slightly anxious, 7 children (17.5%) were anxious, and 2 children (5.0%) were very anxious. The DMF-T score 3-5 was the most common, each of 6 children (15%), meanwhile the most rare was the DMF-T scores of 10 and 15, each of 1 child (2.5%). The Pearson test of the correlation between anxiety during dental treatment and DMF-T index showed a P of 0.472. Conclusion: There was no significant correlation between child anxiety for dental care and DMF-T index.Keywords: feeling of anxiety, dental care, DMF-T index Abstrak: Salah satu penyakit kronis yang paling sering diderita anak ialah karies.
