ABSTRACT

Introduction: Fear/anxiety in children as an emotional response to the threatening perception of clinical dental procedures, generates non-cooperative behaviors that hinder interventions. Psychology in pediatric dentistry use theoretical and technical knowledge to evaluate, control and modify these behaviors with diagnostic elements, such as children’s drawings and their interpretation. Aim: To evaluate the level of fear/anxiety in children who attend their first dental consultation through graphic expression. Materials and methods: This is a descriptive, correlational study under the field modality, carried out on a group of 29 children of both sexes, from 5 to 8 years of age, who attended dental care for the first time. Children were assessed for degree of fear and anxiety through the projective technique of the Human Figure Drawing, and the Venham Drawing Test. Results: 82.75% of the population studied presented different degrees of anxiety/fear, without a statistically significant difference in relation to sex; with respect to age, it was found to be statistically significant that fear / anxiety occurs in older children. Conclusion: The majority of children who come to the dental office for the first time suffer from dental anxiety and fear ac- cording to the test of drawings of the Human Figure and Venham.
