Abstract:
A healthy and an attractive smile could play a significant role in the positive perception of the individual, both in its’ professional and social life. Aesthetic changes in smile affect the patient’s psychological welfare and self-esteem, and even the most minor esthetic procedures on anterior teeth can be emotionally significant for our patients.
Purpose: The current research investigates anxiety level in patients, who are undertaking aesthetic reconstructions of their smile.
Materials and methods: The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Form (STAI) was used for measurement of patient’s anxiety. It is a self-report psychometric scale, developed by Charles Spielberger.
The test STAI was administered to 26 patients (11-males and 15-females) aged 22 to 84 years, before and after they were given their diagnostic provisional from a diagnostic wax-up.
