Effects of dental fear treatment on general anxiety and mood in 60 dental phobics with high and low general anxiety were compared with "attention" effects in 75 dental phobics on a waiting list using the Dental Anxiety Scale, a State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and a modified Fear Survey Schedule. Positive effects of the treatment were apparent in reduced dental and general fearfulness as well as elevated mood on numerous measures that paralleled dentist ratings of patient behavior. Ss had less fear of going to the next dentist after the program than before, according to a visual analogue measure. Ninety-three percent of Ss started dental treatment with private dentists within 1 year.
对60名高、低一般性焦虑程度的牙科恐惧症患者进行牙科恐惧治疗对其一般性焦虑和情绪的影响，并与75名处于等待名单上的牙科恐惧症患者的“注意力”效应进行比较，采用牙科焦虑量表、状态-特质焦虑量表和改良的恐惧调查量表。治疗的积极效果在多个指标上表现为牙科恐惧和一般性恐惧的降低以及情绪的改善，这些指标与牙医对患者行为的评分一致。根据视觉模拟测量，参与者在该项目结束后比之前更不害怕去看牙医。93%的参与者在1年内开始接受私人牙医的牙科治疗。
