Abstract
The observation of a sample of 2000 patients enabled us to individualize a group whose fright of dental care showed all the characteristics of a phobia in the ethological meaning of the term. Such a phobia definitely seems to have a link with an experience of pain during a previous dental treatment. It could be considered as a particular example of prepared learning.
