Resumen
La ansiedad dental es un obstáculo reconocido en la odontología, que no solo afecta a los pacientes en su estancia durante la consulta, sino que también impide a muchos de ellos a nunca acudir a su cita dental. Objetivo: Determinar la relación de ansiedad dental que presentan los pacientes pediátricos según escala MCDASF y la ansiedad dental de las madres con la escala de MDAS en la clínica de odontopediatría de la UG. Metodología: Mediante encuestas tipo Likert realizadas a niños pacientes y sus madres de la Clínica de Odontopediatría de la Universidad de Guayaquil, con la escala MCDASF y MDAS respectivamente. Conclusión: De acuerdo a los resultados obtenidos en este análisis se encontró que existe una relación madre e hijo con respecto a su nivel de ansiedad dental, teniendo a la ansiedad dental leve como la predominante en ambos individuos por lo que podemos concluir que el nivel de ansiedad dental que presenta la madre podría afectar proporcionalmente al nivel de ansiedad que tenga el niño.
