title: Effect of a special dental program upon extreme dental anxiety.
abstract: Dental anxiety of 60 extremely anxious dental patients enrolled in a special program, was measured multioperationally before and immediately after treatment, and 6 months later. The mean anxiety level was substantially lowered during the course of treatment, indicating a favourable effect of the program. After 6 months dental anxiety was still at the lower level.
