Abstract
A video simulation of a dental procedure was used to induce psychologic stress. Skin conductance and self-ratings of discomfort of 28 men demonstrated a relationship between dental anxiety and the video simulation. Video-simulation dental procedures may be used to test hypotheses related to stress.Keywords
