- The aim was to study the relationship between psychosocial factors and dental status in adult subjects with severe dental fear (DF). A consecutive sample of 148 adults (mean age 36.1 yrs, range 21-69 yrs) referred for dental fear treatment was investigated using an intake questionnaire on dental attendance and history, psychometric questionnaires on dental fear, general anxiety and depression and a radiographic examination. The subjects had a mean DFMT (Decayed, Filled, Missed Teeth) score of 18.6 (SD = 5.6). A deterioration in dental status defined as the presence of root remnants was present in 57% of the subjects and was related to the negative consequences of dental fear, general anxiety and depression. Most subjects (84%) reported clinical levels of general anxiety and 46% reported clinical levels of depression. In conclusion, subjects with severe DF often suffer from psychosocial consequences and distress.This is even more marked if their dental status has deteriorated.The findings support a biopsychosocial vicious circle understanding of the maintenance of DF.
