Before conducting a dental examination, each subject was asked to independently complete a Children\u2019s Fear Survey Schedule \u2013 Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS) questionnaire. Children having a score of \u226538 were included in the group \u2018with dental fear\u2019 while those scoring &lt;38 were placed in the \u2018without dental fear\u2019 group. All dental examinations were performed on the school premises according to WHO criteria. &lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt; Mean CFSS-DS value was 28.1, and the number of children who experienced dental fear was 40 (14.5%). It was found that Decayed, Missing and Filled Surface Index (DMFS-dfs) increased significantly with increasing CFSS-DS values. Fear scores were highest for \u2018Choking\u2019 (3.3), \u2018Injections\u2019 (2.6) and \u2018Having somebody put instruments in their mouth\u2019 (2.6). No significant differences in fear scores between boys and girls were found in this study. &lt;i&gt;Conclusions:&lt;\/i&gt; The data showed prevalence of dental fear in the 7\u201311-year-old children of this study. Dental fear scores decreased with increasing age.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000235894","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,10,2]],"date-time":"2009-10-02T09:47:33Z","timestamp":1254476853000},"page":"453-457","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":67,"title":["Prevalence of Dental Anxiety in 7- to 11-Year-Old Children and Its Relationship to Dental Caries"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Aylin","family":"Akbay Oba","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u00c7oruh T\u00fcrksel","family":"D\u00fclgergil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"I\u015f\u0131l","family":"\u015earo\u011flu S\u00f6nmez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-0528.1990.tb00075.x"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1601-5037.2005.00127.x"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-0528.1992.tb00701.x"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1365-263X.2002.00399.x"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1365-263X.2005.00633.x"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034%2Fj.1600-0528.2002.300203.x"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0005-7967%2898%2900108-9"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-0528.2005.00211.x"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-0528.1998.tb01970.x"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-0528.1998.tb01973.x"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080%2F00016350410001586"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1752-7325.2007.00006.x"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1365-263X.1993.tb00083.x"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2F0005-7967%2894%2990094-9"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080%2F00016350310003468"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177%2F00220345950740080201"}],"container-title":["Medical Principles and Practice"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/235894","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/235894","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T22:10:03Z","timestamp":1745446203000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000235894"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2009]]},"references-count":16,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,10,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000235894","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1011-7571","1423-0151"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1011-7571","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-0151","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2009]]}}}
