Objective Strategies to prepare the child with play activities in order to establish an initial friendly relationship between patient and dentist are widely used as a means to soften the inconsistent behaviors and negative emotions during dental treatment. Thus, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the emotions of children before and after performing play activities and at the end of dental treatment, as well as assessing child behavior. Methods A total of 74 children, both boys and girls, aged 4 to 10 years old, participated in this study and attended the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic for two consecutive semesters. The children responded as they felt through the Emotions Deck during the three stages. In addition, data on behavior and procedures were also collected. Results A total of 468 emotions were evaluated, of which 69 (14.75%) were negative and 399 (85.25%) were positive; the joy was the one of greater frequency in the three evaluated moments. A total of 128 (82.05%) positive emotions were observed before, 133 (85.25%) after the play activities and 136 (87.18%) of the positive emotions were after the dental treatment. As for negative emotions, 28 (17.94%) were before, 23 (14.74%) after play activities and 20 (12.82%) after treatment. Regarding behavior, only 9 (5.77%) were not registered as cooperative, while 147 collaborated (94.23%). Conclusion Therefore, it was possible to conclude that the majority of the patients presented positive emotions at the different moments evaluated and the negative emotions were observed mainly before the ludic activities, having a reduction after the dental care. Most patients demonstrated cooperative behavior.

Introdução. A ansiedade é um estado emocional, que em condições nor¬mais todas as pessoas podem manifestar. Porém, quando esses distúrbios são frequentes, tornam-se um transtorno, com o indivíduo manifestan¬do sintomas da ansiedade por um tempo prolongado. Dentre as técnicas terapêuticas que constituem as terapias integrativas e complementares, a auriculoterapia pode ser considerada a mais empregada, sendo indicada e reconhecida internacionalmente para o tratamento de diversos sinais e sintomas patológicos. Objetivo: avaliar a efetividade da auriculoterapia nos transtornos de ansiedade. Material e métodos: desenvolveu-se um estudo experimental, do tipo relato de caso, por meio da aplicação da técnica da aurículocibernética que se baseia na cartografia francesa. Os pacientes constituíram-se em discentes (n=4) do Centro Universitário Luterano de Ji-Paraná, Rondônia (Brasil), e foram acompanhados pelo período de quatro meses. Como critério de inclusão, além da autode¬claração da ansiedade, avaliou-se o nível desse estado pelo inventario de Hamilton. Os dados foram interpretados por estatística descritiva percentual simples e as médias avaliadas em pares pelo teste T-student. Resultados: comparado os períodos anterior ao tratamento e o após, registrou-se a existência de uma diferença significativa (p<0,05) refle¬tida na melhora da ansiedade como queixa principal, como também, na redução das queixas secundárias. Considerações finais: a auriculotera¬pia foi uma intervenção eficaz na redução dos sintomas da ansiedade, evidenciando a discussão de sua acessibilidade devido a sua representa¬tividade como instrumento terapêutico integrativo de baixo custo.
