“…The Kendall’s W coefficient of concordance value showed nearly perfect ranking from very happy, happy, neutral, sad, and very sad emotions. This finding was in resemblance with findings from other similar studies which reported consistent rank ordering employing cartoon faces (very happy-happy-sad-very sad) or using the Facial Image Scale in the assessment of dental anxiety in young children [23-25]. …”

BackgroundTo evaluate the psychometric properties of the faces version of the Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale (MCDASf) Malay version in 5–6 and 9–12 year-old children.MethodsThe MCDASf was cross culturally adapted from English into Malay. The Malay version was tested for reliability and validity in 3 studies. In the Study 1, to determine test-retest reliability of MCDASf scale, 166 preschool children aged 5–6 years were asked to rank orders five cartoons faces depicting emotions from ‘very happy’ to ‘very sad’ faces on two separate occasions 3 weeks apart. A total of 87 other 5–6 year-old children completed the Malay-MCDASf on two separate occasions 3 weeks apart to determine test-retest reliability for Study 2. In study 3, 239 schoolchildren aged 9–12 years completed the Malay-MCDASf and the Malay-Dental Subscale of the Children Fear Survey Schedule (CFSS-DS) at the same sitting to determine the criterion and construct validity.ResultsIn study 1, Kendall W test showed a high degree of concordance in ranking the cartoon faces picture cards on each of the 2 occasions (time 1, W = 0.955 and time 2, W = 0.954). The Malay-MCDASf demonstrated moderate test-retest reliability (Intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.63, p <0.001) and acceptable internal consistency for all the 6 items (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.77) and 8 items (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.73). The highest MCDASf scores were observed for the items ‘injection in the gum’ and ‘tooth taken out’ for both age groups. The MCDASf significantly correlated with the CFSS-DS (Pearson r = 0.67, p < 0.001).ConclusionsThese psychometric findings support for the inclusion of a cartoon faces rating scale to assess child dental anxiety and the Malay-MCDASf is a reliable and valid measure of dental anxiety in 5–12 year-old children.

“…This methodological approach was necessary, as pain experienced during dental treatment can lead to anxiety in subsequent appointments 26 . Scales with pictures of faces have proven valid for the assessment of anxiety in children in the dental clinic 26,27 . Among the different measures used to assess a child's degree of anxiety, the modified VPT was chosen because of its ease of assimilation and high degree of reliability 2,18 .…”
