ABSTRACT
The aim of the study: to develop a psychological distress correction method of pregnant women before interventions in the outpatient dentistry.
Objects and methods. The study group included 92 women, the comparison group included 93 pregnant patients. Anxiety of patients was determined according to the Spielberger-Hanin scale and temperament by testing according to Eysenck. Depending on the type of temperament, in order to reduce the level of situational anxiety, rational psychotherapy was used, using: explanation; conviction; reorientation; psychogogy. The doctor communicated with the patients of the comparison group only politely and condescendingly.
Results and discussion. The study showed a decrease in the level of situational anxiety (according to Spielberger-Khanin) from the initial in the first trimester 16.8% ± 1.6, in the second 20.5 ± 2.5% and a stable level of useful anxiety in the third trimester in comparison with the control group. Based on the results of the work, a «Method of anxiety correction of pregnant woman during dental treatment” was developed and registered (patent No. 2571323; November 23, 2015).
Conclusion. A method of anxiety correction of pregnant woman during dental treatment increases the safety of dental treatment.

Keywords: pregnancy, distress, psychological characteristics of pregnant women, psychoemotional correction, dental treatment during pregnancy, dental health of pregnant woman
