“…The Children's Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (cfss) is the one which is most frequently administered to children to estimate the prevalence of fear, record the differences among control and experimental groups and, also, select children with and without fear of dental treatment. This finding matches with other studies [15,18,[26][27][28][29].…”

“…The results obtained in subtests I, II and III in the overall evaluation of the cdfp were similar to the values obtained by Klingberg and Hwang [16], as well as the positive correlation among the three subtests and the overall assessment, in spite of cultural and socioeconomic differences, sample size and criteria selection used [14][15].…”

“…Therefore, the aims of this study was to assess children's dental fear using Children's Dental Fear Picture Test (cdfp), a projective test, and checking the validity of this method through its correlation with the Children's Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (cfss-ds) [14][15]. At the Pediatric Dental Clinic, 64 children aged 5 to 9 years, who received curative dental assistance, were initially selected.…”

Application of a projective method for the assessment of children's dental fear.Abstract. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess children's dental fear by using the Children's Dental Fear Picture Test (cdfp) projective technique. Material and Methods: Forty patients from a pediatric dental clinic, between 5 and 9 years old, took part in this study. At first, the cdfp was applied to the children. This method has three subtests and its overall assessment classifies children as fearful, non-fearful and uncertain. Results: The children answered the Children Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (cfss-ds). The results showed that cdfp has inter-examiner reliability and a significant correlation with the cfss-ds. Conclusion: According to the Children's Dental Fear Picture test (cdfp), the majority of children in this study did not present fear of dental treatment. The cdfp was valid, according to its significant correlation with the cfss-ds.

“…11 A good example of such a scale is the CFSS-DS. The CFSS-DS has been translated into many languages, [12][13][14][15][16] including an Arabic version. 17,18 Few of these language versions, however, have undergone rigorous psychometric testing.…”

Summary Aim To test the psychometric properties of an Arabic version of the Child Fear Survey Schedule‐Dental Subscale (CFSS‐DS) a using confirmatory factor analysis. Methods Two convenience samples were obtained: Sample [1]: 600 boys (33%) and girls attending 4 public schools in Onizah and Sample [2] 800 girls attending 8 public schools in Buridah. The questionnaire asked the participant's age, gender, and completion of the CFSS‐DS. The data were subjected to exploratory factor analysis (EFA), parallel factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and goodness of fit statistics. Results A total of 513 children in Sample [1] and 503 children in Sample [2] participated giving a valid response rate of 86% and 67%, respectively. From the EFA, 3 factors were identified and confirmed statistically using parallel factor analysis. The internal consistency of the 3 factors, Dental Fear Subscale (0.86), Hospital Fear Subscale (0.77), and Stranger Fear Subscale (0.71), was good. The CFA showed that the current EFA model was an equivalent fit to the El Housseiny et al (BMC Oral Health 2016;16:49). model; however, the solution using El Housseiny et al's structure was distorted. Conclusions A 3‐factor structure with acceptable reliability exists for this Arabic version of the CFSS‐DS, confirmed by a CFA using an additional data set.

“…Similar study on CFSS-DS conducted by Bajric et al ensured its reliability and validity in children of Bosnia and Herzegovina also proved that it can be used as a psychometric instrument to assess dental fear in children. [7] Aartman et al also proved that dental subscale of the children's fear survey schedule can be used to assess dental anxiety in children. [8] Carter et al in his article on pathways of fear and anxiety in dentistry said that fear and anxiety hinders the provision of routine dental treatment on a daily basis for most dental practices.…”

Background:The intensity and nature of dental anxiety varies between individuals. Dental anxiety has been documented as a cause of grave health issues in children and if continued till their adolescence, will lead to unsettling behavior while treatment. Hence, it is essential to recognize a dentally anxious child at the earliest using dental anxiety assessment indices. Hence, the study was planned to evaluate the use of dental anxiety assessment questionnaire and clinical approaches among pediatric dentist in their clinical practice in India. Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the use of dental anxiety assessment questionnaire and the clinical approaches used among pediatric dentists in India. Materials and Methods: Questionnaires were mailed to pediatric dentist, who are members of Indian Society of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry, of which 227 members have responded. Information collected from each practitioner was analyzed to assess the use of these anxiety assessment questionnaire and their clinical approaches. Data were statistically analyzed using statistical package Epi Info. Results: Of the 227 participants, 54.6% were males, and 45.4% were females. The most frequently used technique was non-pharmacological behavior management technique (95.1%). Around 45% of them used dental anxiety assessment indices in their practice and most commonly used scale was Frankl behavior rating scale (51.8%). Conclusion: Results conclude that 44.5% of pedodontist used dental anxiety questionnaires in their clinical practice.
