This article reviews and assesses six dental anxiety and fear questionnaires. The construct aimed at by the questionnaires, the data collected, their reliability, validity and normative scores are considered. Some attention is given to the correlations between the questionnaires, their ambiguity, the presence of manuals, and whether the questionnaires tap the three segments distinguishable on theoretical ground in dental anxiety/fear. All questionnaires are open to criticism. In the final assessment Kleinknecht's Dental Fear Survey is preferred to Corah's Dental Anxiety Scale. The latter, however, appears useful in getting a quick impression of anxiety and in evaluative studies. Three recently developed questionnaires, Stouthard's Dental Anxiety Inventory, Weiner's Fear Questionnaire and Morin's Adolescents' Fear of Dental Treatment Cognitive Inventory are considered promising, but for the last two instruments more data, in particular with regard to their validity, are needed. It is concluded that in dental anxiety research more than one questionnaire should be used and that it may be worthwhile to include other, non-anxiety questionnaires as well.
本文回顾并评估了六种牙科焦虑和恐惧问卷。文中考虑了这些问卷所针对的构想、收集的数据、它们的信度、效度和常模分数。还对问卷之间的相关性、其模糊性、是否有手册以及问卷是否涵盖了从理论角度可区分的牙科焦虑/恐惧的三个部分给予了一定关注。所有问卷都存在可批评之处。在最终评估中，克莱因克内希特的牙科恐惧调查问卷比科拉的牙科焦虑量表更受青睐。然而，后者在快速了解焦虑情况和评估研究中似乎很有用。最近开发的三种问卷，即斯托哈德的牙科焦虑量表、维纳的恐惧问卷和莫林的青少年牙科治疗恐惧认知量表被认为很有前景，但对于后两种工具，还需要更多数据，特别是关于它们效度的数据。结论是，在牙科焦虑研究中应使用不止一种问卷，并且纳入其他非焦虑问卷可能也是值得的。
