Research Abstract |
We assessed the psychological stress, anxiety, and dental fear in pediatric dental patients, their mothers and dentists during dental treatment. In pediatric patients who received noninvasive dental treatment, dental fear, treatment time and number of visits to dentists did not influence the patient's psychological stress. However, higher levels of anxiety may influence the psychological stress during the procedure. Furthermore, the influence of their mothers' anxiety or their dentist's anxiety on the patients was not observed.
