Zhrnutie	The Oral Health Literacy Scale (OHLS) is an assessment tool measuring patients' ability to understand, process, and act on oral health information. Originally developed as part of health literacy research by Rushton and colleagues, the OHLS evaluates comprehension of dental terminology, oral disease prevention concepts, and informed consent for dental treatment. The OHLS bridges communication gaps in dental care, identifying patients who may have difficulty understanding clinical explanations and treatment options, and enabling tailored patient education.	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.
