title: [Anxiety and stress in dental practice. 3. Results of studies in adults].
abstract: By means of clinical appreciation and determination of the adrenocortical function, the stressor effects of various dental procedures were evaluated in 110 patients aged from 18 to 77 years. The stress of stomatological treatment (extraction, filling therapy, prosthodontic procedures) may vary with age, the patient's psychic condition being of particular importance. Apart from premedication, psychic conditioning seems to be beneficial in case of tooth extraction.
