title: [Evaluation of patient's level of functioning in the dental practice].
abstract: In order to improve the reliability of diagnostic judgements of complex or persisting dental complaints it is important to be aware of the role of emotional problems regarding the origin and the maintenance of dental complaints. In this paper the focus is on the collection of information about patients' history through an anamnesis, and the observation of patients behaviour and mood.
