[Dental care phobia: example of genetically-programmed learning?].
Out of a sample of 2,000 patients, one group was identified whose fear of dental care presented all the characteristics of phobia. This phobia seems to be linked to the pain of previous dental care. Following our hypothesis, it would not be a pathological state, but rather a particular example of genetically programmed learning.
