Abstract(s)
A ansiedade dentária é uma manifestação de temor ante situações relacionadas ao
atendimento na consulta de medicina dentária, que causam apreensão e desconforto,
criando expectativa negativa no paciente. Esta ansiedade em pacientes pediátricos pode
gerar problemas na gestão do comportamento pelo médico dentista, e isto pode afetar o
sucesso do tratamento odontológico das crianças. O reconhecimento e gestão precoces
da ansiedade dentária são a chave para um tratamento eficaz no paciente. O objetivo
deste trabalho focou-se na pesquisa de instrumentos de medida da ansiedade dentária na
infância e métodos de gestão dos pacientes na consulta. Para tal foi conduzida uma
revisão narrativa da literatura com base em artigos publicados nos últimos 10 anos, mas
também os publicados anteriormente a este período desde que considerados relevantes
para a pesquisa. Verificou-se que o conhecimento sobre o conceito e os instrumentos de
medida da ansiedade dentária permitem entender melhor o que pode manifestar a
criança na consulta com o médico dentista, e deste modo, intervir com estratégias para
reduzir a ansiedade dentária durante os procedimentos clínicos.
Dental anxiety is a manifestation of fear in the face of situations related to dental care consultation, which cause apprehension and discomfort, creating negative expectations in the patient. This anxiety in pediatric patients can lead to problems in behavior management by the dentist, and this can affect the success of children's dental treatment. Early recognition and management of dental anxiety is the key to effective patient treatment. The aim of this work was to research instruments for measuring dental anxiety in childhood and methods of patient management in the consultation. To this end, a narrative review of the literature was conducted based on articles published in the last 10 years, but also those published prior to this period as long as they are considered relevant to the research. It was found that knowledge about the concept and instruments for measuring dental anxiety allows a better understanding of child behaviors in the consultation with the dentist, thus being able to intervene with strategies to reduce dental anxiety during clinical procedures.
