Abstract
- Introduction: fear is a common problem that Stomatology Specialists face daily, it can affect patient management and treatment effectiveness. Objective: to characterize fear before stomatological treatment in eight and nine year old children. Methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out at the “Chiqui Gómez” Polyclinic from January to September 2020. A sample of 162 children selected through simple random sampling was obtained. A Scale of Dental Fears in Children and an Observation Guide were applied. Results: fear predominated in nine-year-old male children. It was shown that the greater the fear, the greater the frequency of attitudes associated with this emotion. Conclusions: it was shown that more fear was associated with older age, and that the male sex was more fearful. There was a significant relationship between fear and associated attitudes.
