Abstract

Fear, anxiety and anticipation of pain are prepotent emotional and cognitive mediators of pain behaviour. As pain is often used as a parameter for evaluation of tooth vitality, existing dental anxiety may occasionally lead to possible misdiagnosis. A representative case is presented in which dental anxiety led to an initial misdiagnosis of endodontic pathology.
