Dental anxiety is the patient's response to the specific stress of the dental situation, ranking fifth among the most commonly feared situations. It occurs in response to both internal and external stimuli, and can occur before and during the dental consultation. This study, which is observational, prospective, cross-sectional, and descriptive, aimed to evaluate the anxiety of mothers prior to their children's dental consultation. For this study, 100 mothers of patients aged 5 to 13 years who attended the Dental Clinic of the Universidad Wiener from August to November 2014 were evaluated, using a data collection instrument: Corah's Dental Anxiety Scale to measure the mother's level of anxiety. The results showed that 84% of the mothers experienced anxiety prior to the dental consultation, while 16% did not experience anxiety. It was also found that mothers aged 31 to 40 had low anxiety levels. Regarding the age and gender of the child, the predominant anxiety level was low. In conclusion, the majority of mothers exhibited low anxiety prior to their children's dental consultation.

This research aimed to determine the influence of the dental anxiety of the accompanying person on the behavior and anxiety of children aged 6 to 14 years during dental care, conducted at the University of Norbert Wiener’s Dental Clinic. The study involved children aged 6 to 14 who came with their companions for dental treatment. The anxiety of the companion was assessed using the Modified Corah Scale (MDAS) in its Spanish version, the child’s behavior was evaluated using the Frankl Behavior Scale, and the child’s anxiety was measured using the Facial Image Scale (FIS). The sample consisted of 100 children and their companions. The study was descriptive and correlational. The results show that the child’s behavior was significantly associated with the anxiety level of the accompanying person. However, the child’s anxiety levels during dental care were not associated with the anxiety levels of the accompanying person. Overall, the companions presented a mild to moderate level of anxiety, with male companions showing moderate anxiety (77.8%), while female companions showed 39%. The behavior of the children was positive to definitely positive, and their anxiety level was mild to moderate. The research concludes that the child’s behavior is associated with the dental anxiety of the accompanying person. However, when correlating the child’s anxiety with the dental anxiety of the accompanying person, it was determined that they are not associated factors. The dental anxiety of the companion influences the child’s behavior but does not affect the child’s anxiety during dental care.

The objective of this research was to determine the effectiveness of music therapy in reducing dental anxiety in children aged 3 to 5 years attended at PRONOEI "Caritas Felices" Lima, 2018. Anxiety levels were measured using the Facial Image Scale (FIS) at three successive points (before the dental intervention, during the intervention without music therapy, and finally during the dental intervention with music therapy). Additionally, vital signs such as heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) were recorded. This study was analytical, with a quasi-experimental and self-controlled design. The most important findings showed that anxiety levels before the dental appointment ranged from moderate (20.0%) to severe (48.0%). During the dental appointment without music therapy, anxiety levels increased in 60% of the children, with only 40% showing normal anxiety levels. However, during the dental appointment with music therapy, anxiety levels decreased, as 86% of the children presented moderate anxiety levels, and the remaining 14% showed anxiety levels ranging from mild to moderate. Therefore, when the dental intervention was performed without music therapy, anxiety levels increased, although this increase was not statistically significant. In contrast, when music therapy was used, anxiety levels were reduced.

A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 120 children, divided into two study groups, 60 children in the experimental group and 60 children in the control group. Behavioral levels were recorded using the Frankl scale, and anxiety levels were measured with the Facial Image Scale (FIS) to determine the degree of anxiety and behavior during dental treatment.
