Aims: The present trial was aimed to assess the skill and knowledge of dentists in managing DFA in adult subjects, to evaluate the available strategies used in treating such subjects, and to find the need for further education. Materials and Methods: The present study was an original survey and questionnaire trial, which was distributed to the 82 dentists. The collected data were subjected to statistical evaluation and the results were formulated. Results: Educating and motivating subjects was found to be effective by 62.19% (n = 51) of dentists followed by successive approximation, and muscle relaxation was considered highly ineffective by one responder (1.21%). Music and reduced waiting time in the clinic appeared to be the most effective strategy as responded by 56.09% (n = 46) of dentists. Attempting treatment in various visits than a single seems to be a highly ineffective technique by 4 dentists (4.87%). Conclusion: Within its limitation, the study showed that the application of various behavior modification techniques can be effective in alleviating DFA in adult patients.Wagisha BarbiVaibhav RajMehdi AskariToshi ToshiDipti GopalakrishnanKhushboo KumariPriyadarshini RangariWolters Kluwer Medknow Publicationsarticleadult patientsbehavior modification techniquesdental anxietydental fearpractitionersPharmacy and materia medicaRS1-441Analytical chemistryQD71-142ENJournal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences, Vol 13, Iss 6, Pp 1462-1465 (2021)
