Σύνοψη	The Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) is a brief 5-item self-report instrument measuring anxiety anticipation and response to common dental situations. Developed by Humphris and colleagues in 1995 as a refinement of prior instruments, the MDAS has become the gold standard for rapid dental anxiety screening in clinical practice and research. Its brevity, psychometric rigor, and clinical utility have made it the most frequently used measure of dental anxiety internationally.	The Child Oral Health Impact Profile (COHIP) is a 34-item instrument measuring oral health-related quality of life in children and adolescents aged 6-14 years. Developed by Broder and colleagues and refined through the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), the COHIP captures developmental and age-appropriate impacts of oral conditions (caries, malocclusion, traumatic injury) on children's functional well-being, emotional state, and social participation. The COHIP is the paediatric equivalent of OHIP-14 and has become the standard measure for child-centred outcomes in paediatric dental research.
