title: [Dental anxiety: the use of photographs].
abstract: A questionnaire on dental anxiety using photographs, the FAV, was constructed. It measures the expected level of dental anxiety at ten different moments with regard to the dental treatment. Answers are given on a scale consisting of five photographs of facial expressions, ranging from 'relaxed' to 'extremely anxious'. The FAV has good psychometric qualities. The validation results are promising.
