The objective of this descriptive investigation was to evaluate the psychological profile of dental patients in three levels: global level, the dimensional level, and the discrete symptom level and to compare it with a control group.
Many people is afraid of dental treatment specially local anesthesia and do not refer to dental clinics until they are obliged due to dental pain.
