  • Title: [Epidemiological study of dental fear scores in several Hungarian sub-populations].
    Author: Fejérdy L, Fábián C, Kaán B, Fábián G, Gáspár J, Fábián TK.
    Journal: Fogorv Sz; 2003 Dec; 96(6):277-81. PubMed ID: 14971266.
    Abstract:
    Authors investigated the dental fear scores (DAS, DFS) and anxieties of 362 persons from several sub-populations living in Budapest. The subjects were: 253 females, 109 males, aged 14 to 73. Dental fear scores were rather high (DAS: 11.0 +/- 3.6; DFS: 42.0 +/- 16.0). Age influenced the dental fear scales (DAS and DFS) only; sex, and marital status influenced both dental fear scales and general anxiety scales (one-way ANOVA). A strong correlation between DAS and DFS, and somewhat lower correlation between these scales and the general anxiety scales were also demonstrated.
