Relationship Between Children's Colour Preferences and Their Dental Anxiety

Patients without any syndromes or systemic disorders, without mental retardation, who needed restorative treatment for primary molars were included in the study. The examination forms of 275 patients requiring restorative treatment of primary teeth were analysed at the session they came for restorative treatment. To determine the child's anxiety, the Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale-faces version was administered to the children before restorative treatment. The children were asked to choose from a scale consisting of 9 colours (pink, blue, gold, silver, orange, yellow, green, purple, white) for the compomer restoration color selections. The patients were asked what their favourite color was after the compomer restoration color selection so that the previous question would not have any effect on the child's restoration color selection.
