摘要

Abstract Background . Anxiety associated with dental procedures can be assessed by means of numerous scales and questionnaires. However, their completion by patients and interpretation by doctors are time-consuming. Objectives . The aim of this study was to verify the hypothesis of legitimate and possible use of a numerical scale (NRS) to assess the intensity of anxiety in children before dental treatment. Material and Methods . The study group consisted of 250 respondents aged 10–15 years. Before entering surgery, they were asked to fill in a proprietary survey and a number of questionnaires: Corah Dental Anxiety Scale (CDAS), Dental Belief Survey (DBS), Children Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS) and NRS. Data were analyzed with Mann-Whitney test. Correlation was evaluated with Spearman test. Results . Among the respondents, 56% were girls, 44% boys. The CDAS questionnaire showed that 41% of children were anxious, the CFSS-DS questionnaire revealed that 56% experienced a slight fear before dental appointment (the term ?anxious” and ?slight fear” can be considered similar). Assessing the level of anxiety using the NRS questionnaire, it was found that 40% reported low anxiety and 30% moderate anxiety. The majority of the respondents (64%) showed great trust towards the dentist, with girls displaying significantly higher level of confidence. However, gender was not found to affect the level of anxiety. A high correlation was noted between the results provided by the NRS vs. CDAS, NRS vs. CFSS-DS, and CDAS vs. CFSS-DS. The results also indicated that the higher the confidence the lower the level of anxiety towards dental treatment. Conclusion . The NRS is a reliable tool to assess the level of anxiety in children aged 10–15 years. The unquestionable advantage of this method is short time of completion and simple interpretation of results.
