Abstract：
Parents play a significant role in the development of dental anxiety in their adolescent children. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the influence of family milieu on adolescents\' dental anxiety. The level of dental anxiety (Dental Anxiety Scale-DAS) was evaluated in 100 adolescent dental patients (ages 13-18 years) and their parents. Parents supplied information about family demographics and their personal experiences of dental treatment. Concomitantly, the family\'s behavior was observed during the dental encounter. The adolescents\' mean DAS score was 9.83 ± 2.05. Adolescents\' DAS was higher when their parents\' memories from their own dental encounters were negative. A positive correlation was found between adolescents\' dental anxiety and that of their father (r = 0.52, p < 0.001) and mother (r = 0.79, p < 0.001). The following variables showed a significant ability to predict adolescents\' dental anxiety (stepwise regression): mother\'s DAS (B = 0.57), adolescent\'s behavior at the dental visit (B = 0.87), being the firstborn child (B = -0.44), father\'s DAS (B = 0.13), and mother\'s level of education (B = -0.10). The results showed that intra-family relationships and behavior, parents\' education, dental fear, and memories from previous treatments play an important role in defining the level of dental anxiety in their adolescent children.
摘要：
父母在青少年牙齿焦虑的发展中起着重要作用。这项横断面研究旨在评估家庭环境对青少年牙科焦虑的影响。在100名青少年牙科患者（13-18岁）及其父母中评估了牙科焦虑水平（牙科焦虑量表-DAS）。父母提供了有关家庭人口统计数据和他们个人牙科治疗经验的信息。同时，在牙齿接触期间观察到家庭的行为。青少年的平均DAS评分为9.83±2.05。当父母对自己的牙齿记忆为阴性时，青少年的DAS更高。青少年牙科焦虑与父亲（r=0.52，p<0.001）和母亲（r=0.79，p<0.001）呈正相关。以下变量显示出预测青少年牙科焦虑的显着能力（逐步回归）：母亲的DAS（B=0.57），青少年在牙科就诊时的行为(B=0.87)，作为长子（B=-0.44），父亲的DAS（B=0.13），和母亲的教育水平（B=-0.10）。结果表明，家庭内部关系和行为，父母的教育，牙科恐惧,和记忆从以前的治疗中起着重要的作用，在他们的青少年牙齿焦虑的水平。
