“…En el presente estudio la mayoría de las personas que acompañaron a los niños al tratamiento odontológico fueron las madres (93,8%), similar resultado se encontró en el estudio publicado por Vela (5), donde la proporción de las madres que acompañaban a sus hijos fue mayor (87%) respecto a los padres (13%); también Dikshit et al (14) encontraron algo parecido, donde el 53% fueron madres; esto puede deberse según la literatura, a que la relación madre-hijo es uno de los parentescos más importantes que el individuo experimenta en toda su vida. Por lo que es importante mencionar el rol fundamental de la madre durante el tratamiento odontológico, ya que son las que en la mayoría de los casos acompañan a sus hijos a la consulta.…”

In the clinical history of a child, it is not taken into account any scale that evaluates the anxiety and fear experienced during dental treatment. This would help to define the way to approach the patient and perform a successful treatment. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between anxiety, dental fear and collaboration of parents and children towards dental treatment. A descriptive and transversal study was carried out. The study’s sample was collected from 177 children of both sexes from 3 to 6-year-old, who visited a health institute for a dental appointment, and also their respective parents. A data collection form was prepared for each patient, which included four evaluation scales: the dental fear questionnaire, the Corah anxiety scale, the Children’s Fear Scale and the Venham graphic test. At the end of the treatment, the child's behavior was evaluated using the Frankl scale. In regard to fear, parents presented little or no (55.9%) and children, under fear (87.6%) in a greater percentage. In reference to anxiety, parents presented low anxiety (57%); children, in their majority, were not anxious (64.4%), and their behavior was positive (71.2%). As a result, anxiety caused by the dental treatment in children and parents is not related; nonetheless, fear is. In addition, there is no relationship between anxiety and fear that parents may experience with regard to the child's collaboration. However, the child's collaboration is related to the fear and anxiety that they may experience during dental treatment.

“…One of these factors is the influence of parental anxiety on dental treatment of child. Dental anxiety in children might be due to maternal anxiety, family influences, personality and psychological development of the children, and previous painful medical and dental experience [8,9] . It has been believed that anxiety in a child "develops with the existence of anxious people around them".…”

fear and anxiety remain the primary emotion a child feels when entering the dental clinic. The main cause of this feeling is the dental injection. Many techniques for dental injection involved not showing the injector prior to the injection while others preferred showing the injector. It is believed that maternal anxiety affects the child's dental behavior. Many scales and signs can be used to determine the child's anxiety such as heart beat rate and respiratory rate. 31 children were involved in this study. The children were divided into two groups: group (a) children were shown the dental injector prior to local anesthesia administration, group (b) children were not shown the dental injector prior to local anesthesia administration. The behavior of the children was recorded during the dental injection using the Frankl scale. Maternal anxiety was evaluated using the Arabic version of the MDAS index. The vital signs recorded involved the heart beat rate and the respiratory rate. In group (a) the behavior of the children during dental injection was mostly definitely positive (code 4). While in group (b) it was mostly definitely negative (code 1). Most of the mothers had a moderate level of anxiety (35%) and their children behaved in a favorable way. The heart rate of the children of both groups was higher in group (a) than in group (b) at all times although it was not statistically significant. The difference in respiratory rates at all times between both groups was also not significant. Showing the dental injector to the child prior to injection and following the "tell-show-do" technique affects the behavior of the child in a favorable way. Children behaved favorably in a positive way in accordance to their mother's level of anxiety. The presence of the mother in the dental operatory with her child may have an effect on the behavior.

“…A pesar de que en la atención odontológica resulta indiferenciable el miedo y la ansiedad; estudiosos de este tema lo enmarcan en la última, la que se define como una sensación aprensiva referida por el infante en relación con el tratamiento dental, la cual no está relacionada a un estímulo externo específico, o experiencia dolorosa que pueda influir en el comportamiento humano.

La ansiedad dental en la edad infantil se relaciona con la salud bucal del adulto. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, transversal, con enfoque mixto, durante enero a diciembre del año 2016. Se trabajó con la totalidad de la población, conformada por los menores de cinco años de edad, de ambos sexos (20 individuos) que durante el período de estudio acudieron a las consultas de atención estomatológica en el Dispensario Médico-Odontológico de Marcopamba, en la provincia de Bolívar, Ecuador. Mediante consentimiento informado, se obtuvo la aprobación de los padres para que sus hijos participaran en el estudio. Se confeccionó una ficha de recolección de datos, la que permitió explorar la frecuencia de asistencia al Odontólogo, los motivos de consultas y la realización de la técnica de cepillado dental. Para determinar la presencia de ansiedad y miedo dental, se empleó la Escala de Ansiedad Dental de Corah Modificada, la que su validación recoge un índice de confiabilidad de alfa de Cronbach de 0,86 y una validez determinada como aceptable. Predominó la asistencia a consulta odontológica debido a la presencia de dolor dental. La totalidad de la población de estudio refirió no realizar cepillado dental cuatro veces al día. La clasificación clínica de muy ansioso e intranquilo fue mayoritaria entre los individuos participantes, lo que sugiere la necesidad de establecer estrategias de promoción de la salud oral y prevención de enfermedades bucodentales, para reducir factores que producen miedo y temor al odontólogo.
