Abstract:
Abstract Introduction - Behavior guidance is a process where practitioners help patients identify appropriate and inappropriate behavior, learn problem solving strategies, and develop impulse control, empathy, and self-esteem. Evaluation of the child's co operative potential is essential for treatment planning. Assessing the child's behaviour, past experiences and current emotional state allows the practitioner to provide a successful dental treatment. The main objective of the study is to assess the ability of the children to co operate with the doctors in the dental settings using behaviour rating scales. Materials and Methods- Behaviour assessment of the children was done in department of pediatrics, Saveetha dental college to assess the behavior of 50 children during their dental visits. The study was done for the children between the age group of 6 to 15 years who had undergone dental treatment. Results- Assessment of the behavior of the children helps the dentist to formulate the required treatment plan for the chidren and carry out the treatment procedures successfully. The children in this study showed a more positive behaviour in the subsequent dental visits. Conclusion - Management of the children in the dental settings is a challenging task for the dentists. However this can be overcome by assessing the behaviour of the children. This helps the dentist to execute required treatment for the children. The children showed a more positive behavior in the subsequent dental visits. This can be achieved by behaviour management techniques like tell-show-do technique.
