This study investigated the attitudes of parents toward behavior management techniques used during dental treatment of children.
One hundred and four parents who accompanied their children to the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at the Hebrew University, Hadassah Faculty of Dental Medicine in Jerusalem, Israel, participated in the study. The techniques for managing the children's behavior were explained to the parents prior to treatment and parents were present in the operatory during dental treatment. At the end of the second appointment, parents completed a questionnaire requesting demographic, behavioral, and dental information as well as the parents' attitudes toward the management techniques.
Most parents preferred an explanation as to the proper approach for treating their children. Voice control was totally accepted by most parents, Papoose Board by one-third of the parents and physical restraint by nearly one-fourth of the parents. Of the parents who were in favor of restraint, most children did not cooperate.
Detailed explanations and witnessing children during dental treatment may raise parents' tolerance level to firm techniques.
本研究调查了家长对儿童牙科治疗中所使用行为管理技术的态度。
104名陪同孩子前往以色列耶路撒冷希伯来大学哈达萨牙医学院儿童牙科的家长参与了本研究。在治疗前向家长解释了管理孩子行为的技术，并且在牙科治疗期间家长在治疗室。在第二次预约结束时，家长完成了一份问卷，该问卷询问了人口统计学、行为和牙科信息以及家长对管理技术的态度。
大多数家长更喜欢关于治疗其孩子的正确方法的解释。大多数家长完全接受声音控制，三分之一的家长接受婴儿固定板，近四分之一的家长接受身体约束。在赞成约束的家长中，大多数孩子并不配合。
详细解释以及在牙科治疗期间观察孩子可能会提高家长对严格技术的容忍度。
