Introduction: Dental anxiety (DA) is treatable and preventable when dental personnel correctly estimate the patient's level of DA. Objective: To evaluate dental personnel's ability to estimate DA.

The examiner also recorded gender, age, profession, years of experience, country of education, interest in DA, special education concerning DA and confidence in ability to handle DA.
