详细描述
ackground: Behaviour management techniques have an important place in paediatric dentistry. However, alternative methods may be needed if they are found to be ineffective in reducing children's dental anxiety.Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of reading educational books, watching videos and playing mobile games from the child's, dentist's and parent's perspective on children's dental anxiety before treatment.
Methods: A total of 160 patients were randomly assigned to four groups. Anxiety levels of patients in each group were assessed using the Facial Image Scale, the Frankl Behaviour Scale and pulse oximetry. The Corah Dental Anxiety Scale was administered to parents to assess their child's anxiety level. The first group was exposed to the tell-show-do technique, the second group read a book, the third group watched a video and the fourth group played a mobile phone game. The children in each group were then assessed. Anxiety levels were then reassessed using the same scales.
