简要总结
Background: Dental anxiety in children can lead to uncooperative behavior, making dental procedures challenging. Effective behavior management techniques, such as the Tell-Show-Do (TSD) method, help familiarize children with procedures through explanation and demonstration, reducing fear. Therapeutic toys offer an alternative approach by providing distraction and emotional comfort. However, there is limited research comparing their effectiveness in managing pre-procedural anxiety.
Purpose: This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate and compare the impact of the Tell-Show-Do technique and therapeutic toys in reducing anxiety in 6 to 10 year old children before and after dental restorative procedures. The study seeks to identify the more effective method in improving cooperation and enhancing the overall dental experience.
