“…Lidenberger et al reported in their study that taking physical exercise prior to dental treatment significantly reduces dental fear. The results of these studies are in concordance with our study (34). Unfortunately, in our country, studies of largescale regarding levels of physical activity are insufficient.…”

“…Our country was included in a worldwide research related with child and adolescent health, held by the World Health Organization. In the 2009-2010 report of this study they stated that 19% of the girls and 27% of the boys at 11 years of age, 12% of the girls and 23% of the boys at 13 years of age, 9% of the girls and 18% of the boys at 15 years of age had at least 1 hour of medium and heavy levels of physical activity every day (34). 1871 high school students of adolescent age group from various ethnic groups participated in another study in the U.S., at the end of which it was reported that female students had less physical activity than male students (35).…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships of dental anxiety and fear with socio-demographic and clinical features, as well as physical exercise frequency. A total of 230 undergraduate students from five different majors including den tistry, medicine, veterinary medicine, physical education vocational high school, and faculty of education participated in the study. The mean age of participants was 23.27 (SS=2.09). A socio-demographic questionnaire, the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) and the Dental Fear Scale (DFS) were used in the study. In order to evaluate the correlates of dental fear and anxiety, two multiple regression analyses were performed where the scores of Dental Fear Scale and Dental Anxiety Scale were dependent variables. Multiple regression analyses showed that both dental fear and dental anxiety were significantly associated with being of younger age, being female, having a prior history of a psychiatric disorder, and less likely to exercise physically. Considering differences across five majors, medicine and dentistry students were less likely to report dental fear and anxiety relative to other majors. We concluded that females, individuals with a younger age, individuals with a ps ychiatric history, an those less likely to exercise physically were at greater risk of dental anxiety and fear.

“…For example, in a randomized-controlled cross-over design, a single 30-minute moderately intense aerobic treadmill session significantly (compared to a low-intensity control condition) reduced anxiety levels during a subsequent dental prophylaxis treatment in people diagnosed with dental phobia [ 59 ]. For panic disorder, promising findings were evident as well.…”

The beneficial impact of physical activity on preventing and treating mental disorders has captured growing (research) interest. This article aims to provide a concise overview of essential evidence regarding the effectiveness and underlying mechanisms of physical activity for individuals with mental disorders clustered as “stress-related” conditions. Empirical findings (e.g., longitudinal- prospective studies, interventional randomized-controlled-trials, reviews, meta-analyses) regarding the effects of physical activity in the prevention and treatment of stress-related mental disorders are summarized. Furthermore, potential mechanisms underlying these effects are discussed, and recommendations regarding the use of physical activity are outlined. The majority of studies indicate good efficacy of physical activity in prospectively lowering the risk for the incidence of subsequent stress-related mental disorders as well as in the treatment of manifest disorders. Most evidence targets unipolar depressive disorder and, secondly, anxiety disorders. Research regarding posttraumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and somatoform disorders is promising but scarce. Physical activityseems to be useful as a stand-alone-treatment as well as in combination with other psychotherapeuticor pharmacological treatments. Multiple intertwined physiological, psychological, and social mechanisms are assumed to mediate the beneficial effects. Recommendations regarding physical activity can orientate on official guidelines but should consider the individual needs and circumstances of each subject. In summary, physical activity seems to be effective in the prevention and treatment of stress-related mental disorders and, therefore, should be fostered in healthcare-settings. Future studies are needed to clarify partly inconsistent patterns of results and to close research gaps, e.g., concerning somatoform disorders.

Clinical and neurobiological effects of aerobic exercise in dental phobia: A randomized controlled trial

Abstract: Our study provides evidence for an effect of moderate-intense exercise on clinical symptoms and sC in patients with dental phobia. Therefore, acute aerobic exercise might be a simple and low-cost intervention to reduce disorder-specific phobic fear.
