- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The primary (proximal) outcome consists of the dental anxiety. The anxiety will be measured at five (max. six) different times of measurement (before the intervention, after the intervention, three months after the intervention, six months after the intervention, one year after the intervention and at most two years after the intervention) by the Hierarchischer Angstfragebögen (Jöhren, 1999). Furthermore there will be a self-developed behavioral test before and after the treatment to have an objective measure of the dental anxiety. The avoidance of dental appointments (as an indirect measure of anxiety) will be requested at all above mentioned times of measurement as well. In the waiting list condition the data collection takes place at the beginning of the waiting period, at the end of the waiting period (6 weeks later) and at the end of the therapy. There are no follow-up measurements in the waiting list condition.
