Impact of non-surgical periodontal treatment on dental anxiety: A comparative study on patients with periodontitis
Background/purpose
Dental anxiety is prevalent and may result in the avoidance of periodontal therapy and maintenance. This study aimed to explore the impact of non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) on dental anxiety among patients with periodontitis.
Materials and methods
In this study, 122 patients with periodontitis participated. The Chinese version of the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) gauged baseline dental anxiety during the initial appointment. Patients receiving non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) in subsequent appointments formed the NSPT group, while those with a delayed NSPT of at least two months constituted the delayed group. In the NSPT group, the second termination questionnaire was administered one month post the last NSPT visit, just before the periodontal re-evaluation. In the delayed group, the second questionnaire was completed before the delayed NSPT initiation.
Results
Baseline MDAS scores were comparable between the delay and NSPT groups. However, the NSPT group exhibited lower total scores and scores for each of the five MDAS items at termination compared with the delay group. At baseline, MDAS total scores were inversely associated with age and were lower in males. A reduction in MDAS total scores between observation points was correlated with NSPT, sex, and age after adjustment. Regarding MDAS item 4 (teeth scaled/polished), score reduction consistently correlated with NSPT and age.
Conclusion
Participation in NSPT may alleviate dental anxiety, and consequently enhance the patients' conceptiveness to undergo periodontal maintenance or surgery.
期刊介绍：
he Journal of Dental Sciences (JDS), published quarterly, is the official and open access publication of the Association for Dental Sciences of the Republic of China (ADS-ROC). The precedent journal of the JDS is the Chinese Dental Journal (CDJ) which had already been covered by MEDLINE in 1988. As the CDJ continued to prove its importance in the region, the ADS-ROC decided to move to the international community by publishing an English journal. Hence, the birth of the JDS in 2006. The JDS is indexed in the SCI Expanded since 2008. It is also indexed in Scopus, and EMCare, ScienceDirect, SIIC Data Bases.
The topics covered by the JDS include all fields of basic and clinical dentistry. Some manuscripts focusing on the study of certain endemic diseases such as dental caries and periodontal diseases in particular regions of any country as well as oral pre-cancers, oral cancers, and oral submucous fibrosis related to betel nut chewing habit are also considered for publication. Besides, the JDS also publishes articles about the efficacy of a new treatment modality on oral verrucous hyperplasia or early oral squamous cell carcinoma.
