ABSTRACT

Introduction: Anxiety to dental treatment is a psychological phenomenon whose negative effects in the adult patient have great impact from the points of view of psychology and oral health.
Objective: To carry out a bibliographic review about the negative effects of anxiety on dental treatment in adult patients.
Methods: A bibliographic review study on anxiety to dental treatment and its effects on the individual was carried out, taking into consideration the bibliography published in Google Academic, SciELO and Medline in the period from January 2013 to December 2017. As a result, we obtained a total amount of 50 articles, 46 of them in international journals, one in a national journal and three books, of which 33 were used once the established exclusion criteria were applied.
Analysis and integration of the information: Non-adherence to dental treatment as a consequence of this anxiety is associated with the last visit made to the dental office and the frequency with which they usually attend to receive dental care, being the fundamental aspects considered to address this phenomenon. Specifically, the effects on the dental organ and those of support are the oral consequences reported in the current research, for referring to the deterioration of oral health in relation to this psychological phenomenon. Patients anxious about dental treatment do not only suffer consequences on their oral health, it is also possible to appreciate psychological consequences, mainly associated with negative emotions and social isolation of the individual as a result of their oral deterioration.
Conclusions: Anxiety to dental treatment is the historical result of the beliefs and attitudes of the people, leading them to reject or avoid dental medicine as a medical specialty. Its effects are the result of non-adherence to treatment, bringing about oral-health problems. Also, a considerable psychological effect is noticed.
