“…Goettems et al [17], who investigated the relationship between the influence of maternal dental anxiety, the pattern of dental check-up utilization and the child's perception of quality of life, found that children in Brazil from families with a higher socioeconomic status were five times more likely to have used dental health services than children with a lower economic status. Previous studies have suggested that socioeconomic status may be a key factor in dental anxiety, with children from the lowest socioeconomic groups showing higher levels of dental anxiety [18]. This suggests that socioeconomic status may be a key factor in dental anxiety.…”

“…This suggests that socioeconomic status may be a key factor in dental anxiety. However, this was not observed in the results of Amorim et al [18]. Ramseier et al [19] investigated the relationship between socioeconomic factors and dental anxiety in a group of 2240 participants aged 43.5 ± 16.0 years and found a statistically significant inverse relationship: a higher level of education correlated with a lower level of dental anxiety.…”

Background and Objectives: In the literature, the influence of parents who suffer from dental anxiety and a previous unpleasant experience at the dentist are cited as the two most common causes of dental anxiety in children. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between socioeconomic factors and the development of dental anxiety in children aged 9 to 12 years. Materials and Methods: A total of 131 children and their accompanying parents/guardians participated in the cross-sectional study. The children were divided into an experimental group, which visited a specialised office for paediatric and preventive dentistry for the examination, and a control group, which visited a primary care dental office. During the visit, the children completed questionnaires on dental anxiety (CFSS-DS). Parents completed a socioeconomic questionnaire and a dental anxiety questionnaire for adults (CDAS). Results: The results showed a statistically significant positive predictor: parental dental anxiety as measured by the CDAS. In addition, the t-test showed that children who visited a specialised dental office did not show a statistically significant increase in dental anxiety compared to children who visited a primary care dental office. Conclusions: With this study, we confirm the influence of parental dental anxiety on the development of dental anxiety in children. The socioeconomic status of the family and the type of dental office do not play a statistically significant role in the development of dental anxiety in children.

Introduction: Using rubber dam (RD) is essential during restorative and endodontic procedures. It aids in avoiding instrument or restorative material aspiration and helps the operator in achieving a clean and dry operating site. This study aimed to determine patient attitudes toward the use of RD in a Malaysian subpopulation based on their gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status (household income and educational level). Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional questionnaire-based study conducted on the east-coast patient population of Malaysia, receiving restorative and endodontic treatments with a RD at the undergraduate dental clinics of the School of Dental Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia. Data were statistically analyzed. Results: A total of 106 patients participated and answered the questionnaire based on their satisfaction with RD use. Randomized convenience sampling was done. The satisfaction levels with the use of RD were not significantly different among males and females. However, satisfaction levels were found to be statistically significant based on the level of comfort of different ethnic groups (P = 0.001) and recommendation to friends or relatives (P = 0.004). Satisfaction with RD usage based on level of education was also reported as statistically significant (P = 0.006). There was a statistically significant association between patients’ satisfaction on preference and recommendation to their friends or relatives (P = 0.005) based on household income. Conclusion: A patient who was well-educated and earned a reasonable income was more satisfied and prone to accepting and recommending RD usage.
