Abstract EN
Objective: To determine whether children’s decision regarding their dental treatment is affected by their age and gender and whether dental anxiety has an effect on their decision.
Methods: Participants in this study were 285 children including 148 boys and 137 girls aged 12-16 years old.
Three questionnaires were distributed to children in their classroom at local Liverpool School-Broadgreen Comprehensive School.
The first questionnaire was to assess their dental anxiety; the second was to determine the children’s ability in making a decision concerning their dental treatment.
Results: Analysis of data demonstrated a significant relationship between decision-making and age of children (p <0.05).
Limited relationship was found between making a decision and both gender and dental anxiety.
Conclusion: Age of children was more strongly related to understanding the treatment and making a decision than gender and dental anxiety.
