The Relationship Between Dental Trauma, Anxiety and Aggression Behavior in 7 to14 Year old Children in Kosovo

“…The present study showed that mean anxiety score is significantly higher in girls than in boys (p=0.006). Our findings are similar to the findings of Ten Berge M et al (17), Maja L et al (18), Majstorovic et al (19), and Nakai et al (20). Some study had shown no significant difference in mean anxiety score between boys and girls (girl vs. boys mean CFSS-DS was 27.50+/-5.01, and 26.84+/-5.62, respectively) (21).…”

“…U našem istraživanju srednja vrijednost CFSS-DS-a za dječake bila je 19,23+/-6,30, a za djevojčice 22,17+/-10,72, odnosno srednja vrijednost anksioznosti bila je značajno veća kada je riječ o djevojčicama negoli o dječacima (p = 0,006). Naši su rezultati slični onima Tena Berge i suradnika (17), Maje i suradnika (18), Majstorović i suradnika (19) te Nakaija i suradnika (20). Neka istraživanja nisu pokazala značajnu razliku srednjih vrijednosti ankioznosti između dječaka i djevojčica (srednja vrijednost CFSS-DS-a za djevojčice u odnosu prema dječacima; 27,50+/-5,01 i 26,84+/-5,62, tim redom) (21).…”

Prevalence of Dental Anxiety in 7- to 11-Year-Old Children and Its Relationship to Dental Caries

“…It has been shown to have good reliability-validity, and recently has been used in several countries and translated into several languages [10,11] . CFSS-DS is used to register differences in dental fear between experimental and control groups to select fearful and non-fearful children from a larger reference population and to estimate the prevalence of dental fear in children [8,11] . CFSS-DS has been shown to be better in some situations than other scales such as the Venham Picture Test and the Dental Anxiety Scale [12] .…”

“…Dental korku ve diş çürüğü, birbirleri için hem sebep hem sonuç olabilir (30). Kruger ve arkadaşları (31) dental korkunun çürükler için önemli bir belirleyici olduğunu belirtmişlerdir .…”
