The aim of this study was to investigate the short-term efficacy of cognitive therapy and applied relaxation in dental fear treatment and to compare these methods with conventional pharmacological sedation (nitrous oxide sedation). Patients (n = 65) with severe dental fear were randomly assigned to the different treatment methods and received 10 weekly sessions of individual therapy. Dropout rates were low, and all patients who completed the therapy sessions were able to receive dental treatment. Scores on dental fear tests were significantly reduced compared with pretreatment level for all treatment groups. There were no major differences between treatment methods in this short-term perspective.
本研究的目的是调查认知疗法和应用放松疗法在治疗牙科恐惧症方面的短期疗效，并将这些方法与传统药物镇静（氧化亚氮镇静）进行比较。65名患有严重牙科恐惧症的患者被随机分配到不同的治疗方法中，并接受了为期10周的个体治疗。脱落率较低，所有完成治疗课程的患者都能够接受牙科治疗。与治疗前水平相比，所有治疗组的牙科恐惧测试得分均显著降低。从短期来看，治疗方法之间没有重大差异。
