The scope of the present study has been the analysis of the main psychological approaches used during a first dental visit of a child to gain the necessary collaboration, focusing on the influence of parental presence during the visit.
The study was conducted on a group of 200 children divided into two sub-groups. In Group I the child was seen without the parent's presence and in Group II the parent was present throughout the visit. Assessment of behaviour was by a simple 'co-operative' or 'non-cooperative' in achieving a dental examination and prophylaxis. Statistical analysis was made by chi square and Fisher's exact test.
In Group I (parent out) 89% of children were fully co-operative compared with 63% in Group II (parent present) which was significantly different (chi square 18.503, p<0.001). In addition 8% of children in Group II failed to return for any further dental care compared with 1% in Group I, which was also significantly different (Fisher's exact test p=0.1231).
Parental presence affects a child's behaviour on an initial dental visit, which is better when the parent is excluded.
本研究的范围是分析在儿童首次看牙时为获得必要配合所采用的主要心理学方法，重点关注看牙期间家长在场的影响。
该研究针对一组200名儿童进行，将其分为两个亚组。第一组在没有家长在场的情况下看牙，第二组在整个看牙过程中家长都在场。通过在进行牙科检查和预防时简单的“合作”或“不合作”来评估行为。采用卡方检验和费舍尔精确检验进行统计分析。
在第一组（家长不在场）中，89%的儿童完全合作，而在第二组（家长在场）中这一比例为63%，两者有显著差异（卡方值18.503，p<0.001）。此外，第二组中有8%的儿童未再回来接受进一步的牙科护理，而第一组中这一比例为1%，这也有显著差异（费舍尔精确检验p=0.1231）。
家长在场会影响儿童首次看牙时的行为，当家长不在场时情况更好。
