Acceptability of behaviour therapy for dental phobia
Open accessAbstract
Forbes MDL, Boyle CA, Newton T. Acceptability of behaviour therapy for dental phobia. Community Dent Oral Epidemiol 2012; 40: 1–7. © 2011 John Wiley & Sons A/S Abstract – Objective: To determine how people with dental phobia rate the acceptability of behavioural therapy. Methods: One hundred and twenty individuals with dental phobia participated in a three‐factor experimental vignette‐based design. The three factors examined were dental treatment history, nature of intervention (intravenous sedation or behavioural therapy) and treatment outcome. There were eight different vignettes representing all combinations of the three experimental variables, and 15 participants completed each vignette. Results: Treatment outcome had a strong effect on rated acceptability (F = 115.76, P < 0.001). There was a weaker effect of treatment type (F = 5.49, P < 0.05) with behavioural therapy rated as more acceptable than intravenous sedation. Previous history of intravenous sedation was associated with a decreased perception that it is possible to overcome dental fear. Conclusions: The perceptions of individuals with dental phobia of the acceptability of behavioural approaches to management are influenced by the perceived outcome of the treatment.

Psychological approaches are known to rehabilitate fearful adults, to be less invasive and preferred by families.
“Psychological approaches are known to rehabilitate fearful adults, to be less invasive and preferred by families 7-10 .”
From Cognitive behaviour therapy for anxious paediatric dental patients: a systematic review. (2018) · cites this paper as [7]
The Additional information section says behavioural treatments can have lasting effects on dental fear, and the Discussion describes psychological treatment as less invasive than sedation. The study assessed adults with dental phobia, not families: its Abstract reports that those adults rated behavioural therapy more acceptable than intravenous sedation. Our copy therefore does not support the claim that psychological approaches are preferred by families. Page numbers were not available in the indexed passages. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
