Summary

This study examines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for 130 patients with dental phobia. Following treatment, 79% proceeded with dental care without sedation, requiring an average of five CBT sessions. The findings suggest that CBT can help patients overcome dental anxiety and receive necessary dental treatment.
