Clinical measurement of dental anxiety.

The mean scores on five dental anxiety measurements of 60 patients suffering from extreme dental anxiety are compared with those of an equal-sized, matched group of regular dental attenders free from dental anxiety. Four of the measurements, especially Corah's DAS, appear to be suitable for distinguishing persons suffering from extreme dental anxiety. Also, persons with extreme dental anxiety appear to express their fear openly.
