By the investigation it was attempted to explain the fear in adolescents from stomatological treatment, by appraisement of fear through its two components (congnitive and motorical). Congnitive component was followed by means of question mark before first stomatologican intervention (by the standard scale of general anxiety). In the research participated 100 adolescents. On the basis of analysis of question-marks, examinees were distributed into three groups: normal, pathological and increasingly anxious. On the occasion of third stomatological intervention, the patients obtained placebo (vitamine C, half tablet, orally, 30 minutes before the initiation of stomatological interventions which were identical, i.e. the sanation of deep caries has been carried out). The motorical component (entering the dentist's office, sitting down in a dentis chair and tonning of muscles) were appraised by the method of clinical observations. All parameters were measured before all three stomatological interventions. In this study, in parameters measured by clinical observation the number of questioned people who enter and sit down voluntarily, has increased and the number of people who are showing the signs of tension and who shiver has decreased, at using of placebo therapy.
