Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S)
STAI is one of the most frequently used scales in anxiety research, although it is not a specific scale for dental anxiety
Dental Fear Scale (DFS)
DFS is a scale developed by Kleinknecht used to determine dental fear in different dimensions. This is a Likert-type scale with a score of 1-5. It has 20 items. It examines the level of fear in terms of dentist avoidance, somatic symptoms of fear, and fear of various applications in dentistry practice
Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS)
MDAS was developed by Humphris et al. by adding a question related to injection. The scale consists of five-point Likert-type rating with five options. The scoring in this scale varies between 5 and 25
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
"VAS is ideal for evaluating situations that cannot be measured using digital and oral information. In the present study, a scale comprising 100-mm closed-end line was used to measure the anxiety level. One end of the scale was labeled as no anxiety and the other end as maximum anxiety imaginable"
