通过比较3个月后患者对疼痛的记忆程度，检验了患者对急性疼痛的记忆随着时间的推移而重建的可能性。牙科预约后，预期和经历的疼痛，如预约前后立即报告的。正如假设的那样，记忆和预期以及经历的疼痛之间存在更密切的联系，特别是对于那些在牙科焦虑量表上得分高的患者。患者过去疼痛报告的准确性可能是可疑的，并且牙科焦虑可能会慢慢消失，因为在一次预约中感觉到的预期和实际疼痛之间的差异可能不会被焦虑的患者在下一次预约中准确地回忆起来。
The possibility that patients'' memory for acute pain is reconstructed over time was tested by comparing the degree of pain remembered 3 mo. after a dental appointment with both expected and experienced pain, as reported immediately before and after the appointment. As hypothesized, there was a closer association between remembered and expected and experienced pain, particularly for those patients who scored high on the Dental Anxiety Scale. The accuracy of patients'' reports of pain experienced in the past may be suspect, and that dental anxiety may be slow to extinguish because the discrepancy between expected and experienced pain felt at one appointment may not be recalled accurately by anxious patients at their next appointment.
