To compare the consistency of three means evaluating children's dental fear.
90 children with carious lesions into dentin in primary molars were divided into three groups in randomization: chemomechanical group, atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) and traditional rotary instrument group. The dental fear was evaluated by physiological measure, behavioral measure and projective test at the same time, and the results were compared to eluciate the consistency of the three methods. The data was analyzed by SPSS11.5 software package, using ANOVA, Chi square test and Kruskal-Wallis test, respectively.
Physiological measure found the degree of dental fear in traditional group was the highest, and that in ART group was the lowest. Projective test showed the ratio of the degree of dental fear was 43.3%, 17.2% and 16.1% in traditional group, chemomechanical group and ART group respectively. The difference between traditional group and ART was significant (P < 0.05), and the same between traditional group and chemomecanical group (P < 0.05), while no significant difference was found between ART group and chemomechanical group (P > 0.05). Behavior measure found the degree of dental fear in traditional group was the highest, and that in chemomechanical group was the lowest. The difference between traditional group and ART was significant (P < 0.05), and that between traditional group and chemomechanical group was significant, too (P < 0.05), while no significant difference was found between ART group and chemomechanical group (P > 0.05).
The three means evaluating children's dental fear were of consistency.
比较三种评估儿童牙科恐惧方法的一致性。
将90名乳牙龋损已累及牙本质的儿童随机分为三组：化学机械去龋组、非创伤性修复治疗（ART）组和传统旋转器械组。同时采用生理测量、行为测量和投射测试对牙科恐惧进行评估，并比较结果以阐明三种方法的一致性。数据采用SPSS11.5软件包进行分析，分别使用方差分析、卡方检验和Kruskal-Wallis检验。
生理测量发现传统组的牙科恐惧程度最高，ART组最低。投射测试显示，传统组、化学机械去龋组和ART组的牙科恐惧程度比例分别为43.3%、17.2%和16.1%。传统组与ART组之间差异有统计学意义（P < 0.05），传统组与化学机械去龋组之间差异也有统计学意义（P < 0.05），而ART组与化学机械去龋组之间差异无统计学意义（P > 0.05）。行为测量发现传统组的牙科恐惧程度最高，化学机械去龋组最低。传统组与ART组之间差异有统计学意义（P < 0.05），传统组与化学机械去龋组之间差异也有统计学意义（P < 0.05），而ART组与化学机械去龋组之间差异无统计学意义（P > 0.05）。
三种评估儿童牙科恐惧的方法具有一致性。
