这项研究是从冰岛雷克雅未克人口萨里的参与者中随机抽取的样本进行的。样本包括 1548 名男性和女性，出生于 1914-63 年（年龄范围为 25-74 岁），居住在雷克雅未克及其周边地区以及冰岛南部的农村地区。一个经过修改的牙科焦虑问题 (DAQ) 的结果：旨在将恐惧或焦虑分为五个不同的级别或类别，并与年龄、口腔状况、缺牙程度和教育水平进行比较。整个样本中的 10% 承认有相当大或超过相当大的恐惧，而 5% 的人将他们的恐惧归为广泛或超过广泛。然而，只有 0.3% 的人表示这妨碍了看牙医。恐惧受到性别的影响，因为更多的女性经历过一定程度的后方（P < 0.001），并将她们的恐惧描述为相当大或广泛（P < 0.001）。恐惧在男女年轻群体中更为常见。在男性中，发现蛀牙数量与焦虑之间存在显着相关性，并且承认恐惧的男女患者的补牙次数均明显减少。农村人口的恐惧明显高于城市人口（P < 0.001）。无牙颌或剩余牙齿的数量似乎并没有显着反映对牙齿的恐惧程度。受教育程度较高的人对牙科的恐惧较少。
This study was carried out on a random sample drawn From participants in a population-based surrey in Reykjavik Iceland. The sample consisted of 1548 people, men and women, born in 1914-63 (age range, 25-74 years) who lived in and around Reykjavik and a rural area in southern Iceland. The results from a single, modified Dental Anxiety question (DAQ): designed to classify fear or anxiety into five different levels or categories, were compared with respect to age, oral status, extent of edentulousness, and education level. OF the whole sample 10% admitted to having considerable or more than considerable fear, while 5% classified their fear as extensive or more than extensive. Only 0.3%, however, said that it prevented dental visits. Fear was influenced by sex, as significantly more women experienced some level of rear (P < 0.001) and described their fear as considerable or extensive (P < 0.001). Fear was more common in the younger age groups among both sexes. A significant correlation was Found between the number of decayed teeth and anxiety-among the men, and patients of both sexes who admitted to fear had significantly fewer fillings. Fear was significantly more common in the rural than the urban population (P < 0.001). Edentulousness, or number of remaining teeth, did not seem to be significantly reflected in the extent of dental fear. People with higher education levels reported less dental fear.
