- Data from 93 children were collected through clinical exams and validated questionnaires, with analyses showing that high dental fear and dental caries correlate with lower OHRQoL.
- The results also indicated a strong link between parental fear of dentists and children's fear, highlighting a potential cycle of dental anxiety within families.
