The purpose of the present study was to evaluate dental anxiety among patients anticipating various dental treatments. One hundred and eighty patients who were scheduled for specific dental treatments at the School of Dental Medicine, the Hebrew University--Hadassah, Jerusalem, Israel participated in the study. Patients were anticipating one of the following dental procedures: scaling, filling, root canal therapy, preparation for crown, periodontal surgery or extraction. For each of the six dental treatments, 30 patients were selected at random. Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS) questionnaires were completed by the patients while waiting for their treatments. The results indicated that extraction caused the highest score, followed by scaling (though not significantly). Patients in the 35 to 49 year age group showed the highest total DAS scores. Women demonstrated higher total DAS scores than men. The relative influence of gender, type of treatment and age on the anxiety scores is demonstrated by using logistic regression, which revealed gender to have the strongest impact on the DAS scores, followed by the type of treatment and age.
本研究的目的是评估预期进行各种牙科治疗的患者的牙科焦虑情况。180名计划在以色列耶路撒冷希伯来大学哈达萨牙医学院接受特定牙科治疗的患者参与了该研究。患者预期进行以下牙科手术之一：洗牙、补牙、根管治疗、牙冠预备、牙周手术或拔牙。对于六种牙科治疗中的每一种，随机选择30名患者。患者在等待治疗时填写牙科焦虑量表（DAS）问卷。结果表明，拔牙导致的得分最高，其次是洗牙（尽管差异不显著）。35至49岁年龄组的患者DAS总分最高。女性的DAS总分高于男性。通过逻辑回归分析显示了性别、治疗类型和年龄对焦虑得分的相对影响，结果表明性别对DAS得分的影响最大，其次是治疗类型和年龄。
