To assess the association between maternal dental anxiety and its effect on the oral health status of their child, in Murad nagar -An institutional cross-sectional study.
Among the randomly selected 200 mother-child pairs, a cross-sectional study was done. The children of 2-5 years were selected for the study. A five-level Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS), Hindi edition, was used to assess dental anxiety among the mothers. Clinical examination of the wards was finished by using a modified gingival record and WHO dentition status (2013). The SPSS software version 20 was used for statistical analysis.
Approximately, 61% of the children were males, and 39% were females. The modified gingival index (MGI) score was high, if there should arise an occurrence of high MDAS values. The mean MGI score was most astounding in phobic class of MDAS and least in the not anxious classification. The MGI score expanded on increment in maternal anxiety. Dental caries expanded in kids, if there should be an occurrence of high maternal dental uneasiness. The MDAS demonstrated a critical association with clinical oral health results of the child. The children whose mothers were "extremely anxious" (phobic) had the highest mean decayed, missing, or filled teeth.
Maternal dental anxiety significantly affects the oral health status of their ward.
在穆拉德纳加尔进行一项机构横断面研究，评估母亲的牙科焦虑与其对孩子口腔健康状况的影响之间的关联。
在随机选取的200对母婴中开展横断面研究。选取2至5岁的儿童进行研究。使用印地语版的五级改良牙科焦虑量表（MDAS）评估母亲的牙科焦虑。采用改良牙龈记录和世界卫生组织牙列状况（2013年）对患儿进行临床检查。使用SPSS 20软件进行统计分析。
大约61%的儿童为男性，39%为女性。如果MDAS值较高，改良牙龈指数（MGI）得分也较高。MDAS恐惧类别的平均MGI得分最高，不焦虑类别最低。随着母亲焦虑程度增加，MGI得分升高。如果母亲牙科焦虑程度较高，儿童龋齿增多。MDAS与儿童临床口腔健康结果存在显著关联。母亲“极度焦虑”（恐惧）的儿童平均龋失补牙数最高。
母亲的牙科焦虑显著影响其孩子的口腔健康状况。
