Also it has to be mentioned that anxiety has a multifactorial etiology and is affected by factors such as other personal traits, parenting style, mother’s anxiety, etc. However, all these factors cannot be evaluated in one study because of the large number of the variables involved; so the conclusions should be weighed carefully. Conclusion In this study, a significant correlation between children’s behavior and anxiety with total self-concept scores was found. As, lower anxiety level was correlated with higher self-concept scores which may lead to better behavioral feedback during dental treatment.
