[The treatment of anxiety in handicapped persons].
Having worked as a dentist in an institution for handicapped people for 25 years, the author wants to share some of his experiences. By means of the three cases presented here, the author tries to explain that although each mentally disabled patient has a different character, an equal strategy of treatment can be used.
