| Research Abstract |
To better understand the relationship between dental fear and auditory stimuli, we aimed to investigate cerebral activation associated with sounds of dental treatment using fMRI. Our findings suggest that the cerebral activation pattern observed in individuals with dental fear differed from that observed in control individuals. Increased activation in the subcortical region may be associated with the learning and memory of the sounds associated with dental treatment.
