Abstract(s)
A ansiedade é uma emoção que provoca impactos negativos que pode impedir a capacidade de tomar decisões e de dar resposta a algumas tarefas diárias.
Perante a necessidade de sintetizar a evidência existente acerca da ansiedade relacionada com o tratamento dentário, o objetivo passou por mapear a literatura científica relativamente à ansiedade face ao tratamento dentário nos adultos com recurso a uma scoping review.
Foram identificados 465 artigos, 19 considerados adequados. Fatores potenciadores de ansiedade, como a utilização de turbina nos dentes; fatores protetores da ansiedade como as visitas regulares ao médico dentista; e consequências reais e/ou potenciais da ansiedade, como adiar ou desmarcar as consultas, são alguns dos resultados identificados.
Este estudo pode ser um contributo para auxiliar o médico dentista na sua prática clínica, através da antecipação de situações de ansiedade, o que permitirá que este adote estratégias preventivas com a introdução de metodologias de avaliação prévias.

Given the need to synthesize the existing evidence on dental treatment-related anxiety, the objective was to map the scientific literature on dental treatment anxiety in adults using a scoping review. A total of 465 articles were identified, 19 were considered adequate. Anxiety-enhancing factors, such as the use of turbinates on teeth; anxiety-protecting factors, such as regular visits to the dentist; and actual and/or potential consequences of anxiety, such as postponing or cancelling appointments, are some of the results identified. This study may assist dentists in their clinical practice by anticipating anxiety situations, which will allow them to adopt preventive strategies by introducing previous assessment methodologies.
