Parental preferences and attitudes strongly influence dentists' choices for managing children's behavior in clinics. This study aimed to assess parental attitudes toward two behavior management technique (BMTs)-nitrous oxide (N2O) sedation and/or protective passive stabilization by papoose board (PB)-before and after their children received dental treatment at two referral centers in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Participants were parents of healthy children who required dental treatment under N2O and/or PB over an 18-month period. Before and after dental treatment, parents answered a questionnaire on their attitudes toward BMTs used on their children. Parents were divided into three groups: Group 1 (parents of children who received N2O), Group 2 (parents of children who received PB), and Group 3 (parents of children who received both N2O and PB).
Out of the 132 parents who answered the questionnaire, 106 (80.3%) were in Group 1, 10 (7.6%) in Group 2, and 16 (12.1%) in Group 3. More children of parents with low monthly family incomes were in Group 3 than Group 1 compared to other family-incomes.
Parental attitudes toward N2O and/or PB improved after their children experienced BMTs. The future use of PB alone with their child's sibling was parents' least preferred BMT (p = 0.001).
父母的偏好和态度对牙医在诊所管理儿童行为的选择有很大影响。本研究旨在评估沙特阿拉伯吉达两个转诊中心的儿童接受牙科治疗前后，父母对两种行为管理技术（BMTs）——氧化亚氮（N2O）镇静和/或使用束带板（PB）进行保护性被动固定——的态度。
参与者为在18个月期间需要在N2O和/或PB下接受牙科治疗的健康儿童的父母。在牙科治疗前后，父母回答了一份关于他们对在孩子身上使用的BMTs态度的问卷。父母被分为三组：第1组（孩子接受N2O的父母）、第2组（孩子接受PB的父母）和第3组（孩子同时接受N2O和PB的父母）。
在回答问卷的132名父母中，106名（80.3%）在第1组，10名（7.6%）在第2组，16名（12.1%）在第3组。与其他家庭收入相比，月家庭收入低的父母的孩子在第3组的比在第1组的更多。
孩子接受BMTs后，父母对N2O和/或PB的态度有所改善。父母最不希望未来单独对自己孩子的兄弟姐妹使用PB（p = 0.001）。
