The aims of this study were to evaluate possible relationships between trait anxiety, dental anxiety and the total number of decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) index of patients attending a dental school clinic. A sample of 558 patients was surveyed with the Turkish version of the Spielberger Trait Anxiety Inventory and Dental Anxiety Scale. DMFT index was calculated by clinical and radiographic examination. A significant linear correlation was observed between trait and dental anxiety, but there was no correlation between DMFT index, trait anxiety and dental anxiety. Trait anxiety has an impact on dental anxiety, but does not affect the DMFT index.
本研究旨在评估接受牙科诊所治疗的患者特质焦虑、牙科焦虑与龋齿、失牙、补牙（DMFT）指数之间的可能关系。采用土耳其版斯皮尔伯格特质焦虑量表和牙科焦虑量表对 558 名患者进行了调查。DMFT 指数通过临床和影像学检查进行计算。特质焦虑和牙科焦虑之间存在显著的线性相关性，但 DMFT 指数、特质焦虑和牙科焦虑之间没有相关性。特质焦虑对牙科焦虑有影响，但不影响 DMFT 指数。
