Objetivos: Avaliar a ansiedade infantil antes e após a consulta de Medicina Dentária através do teste Venham Picture Test (VPT).
Materiais e Métodos: Estudo observacional longitudinal, com uma amostra de conveniência constituída por 35 crianças, com intervalos de idade de 3 a 9 anos, que frequentaram a clínica Universitária Egas Moniz entre fevereiro e junho do ano letivo de 2020/2021, após o estudo ter obtido aprovação pela Comissão Científica do MIMD e aprovação pela Comissão de Ética da Cooperativa de Ensino Superior Egas Moniz. Cada criança entrevistada, foi abordada de forma clara e pediu-se: “Aponta para o boneco que mostra como te sentes nesse momento!”. Os dados obtidos a partir dos respetivos questionários e índices, foram colocados numa base de dados do Excel e submetidos a uma análise estatística realizada no programa IBM SPSS® (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences).
Resultados: Foram avaliadas 35 crianças de ambos os sexos, com idade compreendidas entre 3 a 9 anos. Do total da amostra 17 pacientes pertenciam ao género masculino (48,6%) e 18 ao género feminino (51,4%), com uma idade média de 6,6 ± 0,29 anos, que corresponde a uma percentagem de 34,3% nesta faixa etária e a afluência foi maior nas consultas de seguimento do que nas primeiras consultas.
Conclusões: Concluiu-se que das 35 crianças avaliadas, apenas 9 crianças (25,71%) apontaram para figuras que tinham código de ansiedade e apesar das evidências de medo e ansiedade dentária observadas, as crianças foram classificadas como livres de ansiedade, não havendo correlação estatística significativa entre género, idade ou tempo de consulta.
