Abstract

Objective: Dental anxiety is a major complication for many patients and practitioners. Dental fear often results in poor oral health in regard to poor cooperation. The aim of the present study was to determine the dental anxiety and its relation to socio-demographic status and periodontal health in adults. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 187 patients were asked to complete a questionnaire consisted of the questions gathering information on sex, age, education level, income level, smoking habits and the last dental visit. The questionnaire also included Modified Dental Anxiety scale (MDAS) administered in Turkish language. The oral health status was determined with Community Periodontal index (CPI). Results: Based on MDAS scores, 54% of the subjects had mild anxiety, 41.7% had moderate anxiety, and 4.3% had severe anxiety. Anxiety was affected by age and gender (p0.05). Participants with higher CPI scores had significantly higher dental anxiety compared to those of lower CPI scores (p

Amaç: Diş hekimi korkusu nedeniyle hastaların gerekli diş tedavilerinden kaçınması ağız sağlığını olumsuz yönde etkiler. Bu çalışmanın amacı dental anksiyete ile sosyo-demografik durum ve periodontal sağlık arasındaki ilişkinin araştırılmasıdır.

Hastalara yöneltilen ankette Türkçe olarak düzenlenmiş Modifiye Dental Anksiyete ölçeği (MDAS) de yer aldı. Periodontal durum [Community Periodontal index (CPI)] ile belirlendi. Bulgular: MDAS düzeylerine göre, olguların %54’ünde hafif anksiyete, %41,7’sinde orta düzeyde anksiyete ve %4,3’ünde ciddi anksiyete gözlendi. Anksiyetenin, yaş ve cinsiyete bağlı olarak değiştiği (p0,05). CPI skoru daha yüksek olan bireylerde MDAS düzeyleri, düşük CPI skoruna sahip bireylere kıyasla, anlamlı derecede yüksek bulundu (p
