Article Synopsis
- Dental anxiety is common and can lead patients to avoid important periodontal care. This study aimed to understand how non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) affects dental anxiety in patients with periodontitis.*
-
- The study involved 122 patients, with one group receiving NSPT and another experiencing delayed treatment. Their dental anxiety levels were measured using the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) at the beginning and after treatment.*
-
- Results showed that the NSPT group had significantly lower anxiety scores after treatment compared to the delayed group, suggesting that undergoing NSPT helps reduce dental anxiety and may encourage better adherence to ongoing periodontal care.*
