Authors translated the "Dental Fear Survey" (DFS) into Hungarian. 196 persons have been investigated and the DFS values have been compared to DAS, STAI-S, STAI-T values. Mean values were: DFS: 46.27; DAS: 12.24; STAI-S: 41.58; STAI-T: 42.68. Authors found all values higher in the case of women comparing to men. Positive correlation has been found between DAS and DFS, but STAI-S and STAI-T increased only moderately comparing to the DAS and DFS values.
