ABSTRACT

Behavioral management techniques are methods to control children behavior. The objective of this study was to determine parental acceptance degree to non-pharmacologic behavioral management techniques. Parents of ASA I and II children were divided into two groups: group A written and visual explanation of behavioral techniques were offered; and group B only pictures were showed. Each parent had to answer some questions, and the data was recorded: gender, age, parents previous dental experiences, degree of studies and technique acceptance. Results: Group B parents, accepted behavioral management techniques better than Group A. However when analyzing individually each technique, this same group showed less acceptance. Pediatric language and tell-show-do techniques were most accepted. Previous explanation of techniques is necessary when deciding the use of a modeling or a physical restraint technique on their children.
