4. Dental coping strategies and dental anxiety: Adaptive and maladaptive strategies among adult patients with regular or irregular dental care
Sammanfattning : Abstract The overall aim of this thesis was to explore the reported use of coping strategies in connection with dental treatment among adult patients with dental anxiety and regular or irregular dental care.
