Abstract:

We aimed to determine dental anxiety among Turkish patients and assess the sensitivity, specificity, positive/negative predictive values and reliability of the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) and Corah's Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS). Patients referred to our clinic for dental treatment who had a history of dental anxiety were included in the study. 294 randomly selected patients (mean age 38.8 years) completed a questionnaire combining Corah's DAS and MDAS. They were retested 15 days later. The prevalence of dental anxiety was found to be 9.9% (29/294) for Corah's DAS at the cut-off point ≥

Abstract:

To evaluate the effect of virtual reality eyeglasses as a distraction technique in management of anxious paediatric patients undergoing dental treatment.: It is an in-vivo study which was performed on 148 patients with 37 in each four different groups. Children’s dental anxiety was measured using Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) and Pulse oximeter which measures the pulse rate, oxygen saturation. After assessing the anxiety levels of the children, children who are found to be anxious were taken for the study. includes children who have to undergo extraction without virtual reality eyeglass

Abstract:

In spite of the development in technology and the recent innovations in dentistry, dental anxiety remains a common issue, and accurately assessing it is challenging due to reliance on patients’ self-reports, which are often biased. Hence, this study was undertaken to determine whether dental anxiety can be quantified objectively using the EDA parameters. EDA (skin conductance (SC), skin susceptance (SS), and skin potential (SP)) parameters and heart rate (HR) were recorded from 40 participants during two different sessions (baseline and anxiety). In addition, the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale
