“…This background variable has been reported by various studies to be considered in predicting the child behavior. 1819 The present results are also compatible with the previously cited findings suggesting that not only the maturity and basic personality traits, but also the certain features of child rearing methods are significantly related to the children’s response to dental stress.…”

“…13 Xia 19 identified the presence of toothache as a risk factor for BMP; in addition, Poulton 21 stated that symptomatic dental patient to be a predictor of early-onset dental fear. In a country like India, where health services have been usually oriented toward therapeutic care, toothache has been the main reason for seeking dental treatment.…”

AimThe aim of the present study was to identify the various background variables and its influence on behavior management problems (BMP) in children.Materials and methodsThe study included 165 children aged 2 to 8 years. During the initial dental visit, an experienced operator obtained each child’s background variables from accompanying guardians using a standardized questionnaire. Children’s dental behavior was rated by Frankel behavior rating scale. The behavior was then analyzed in relation to the answers of the questionnaire, and a logistic regression model was used to determine the power of the variables, separately or combined, to predict BMP.ResultsThe logistic regression analysis considering differences in background variables between children with negative or positive behavior. Four variables turned out to be as predictors: Age, the guardian’s expectation of the child’s behavior at the dental examination, the child’s anxiety when meeting unfamiliar people, and the presence and absence of toothache.ConclusionThe present study concluded that by means of simple questionnaire BMP in children may be expected if one of these attributes is found.Clinical significanceInformation on the origin of dental fear and uncooperative behavior in a child patient prior to treatment process may help the pediatric dentist plan appropriate behavior management and treatment strategy.How to cite this articleSharma A, Kumar D, Anand A, Mittal V, Singh A, Aggarwal N.

“…Since emergency services’ dentists are usually general practitioners, the fact that they do not treat younger children may be due to the difficulty that many dentists non specialists in pediatric dentistry have in dealing with possible behavioral problems. In very young children, anxiety during dental treatment and toothache are predictors of aversive behavior during dental treatment [37]. In the present study, less than 6% of dental charts cited that children did not allow dental treatment, but that could be the tip of the iceberg because dentists might have not written it down.…”

Many parents rely on emergency services to deal with their children’s dental problems, mostly pain and infection associated with dental caries. This cross-sectional study analyzed the factors associated with not doing an oral procedure in preschoolers with toothache attending public dental emergency services. Data were obtained from the clinical files of preschoolers treated at all nine dental emergency centers in Goiania, Brazil, in 2011. Data were children’s age and sex, involved teeth, oral procedures, radiography request, medications prescribed and referrals. A total of 531 files of children under 6 years old with toothache out of 1,108 examined were selected. Children’s mean age was 4.1 (SD 1.0) years (range 1–5 years) and 51.6% were girls. No oral procedures were performed in 49.2% of cases; in the other 50.8%, most of the oral procedures reported were endodontic intervention and temporary restorations. Primary molars were involved in 48.4% of cases. With the exception of “sex”, the independent variables tested in the regression analysis significantly associated with non-performance of oral procedures: age (OR 0.7; 95% CI 0.5–0.8), radiography request (OR 3.8; 95% CI 1.7–8.2), medication prescribed (OR 7.5; 95% CI 4.9–11.5) and patient referred to another service (OR 5.7; 3.0–10.9). Many children with toothache received no oral procedure for pain relief.

“…On the other hand, it can be argued that ART could be a facilitator for good behaviour management when the dentist is not so skillful in dealing with children. For those very young, ART is the best treatment option, whether the operator is a specialist or not [21], as age is associated with dental behaviour management problems; the younger the child the more behaviour problems are expected [26]. With regard to adult patients, there is only one study in which the impact of ART on patients' comfort was tested [24].…”

Twenty-five-year atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) approach: a comprehensive overview

Background The atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) approach was born 25 years ago in Tanzania. It has evolved into an essential caries management concept for improving quality and access to oral care globally. Results Meta-analyses and systematic reviews have indicated that the high effectiveness of ART sealants using high-viscosity glass ionomers in carious lesion development prevention is not different from that of resin fissure sealants. ART using high-viscosity glass ionomer can safely be used to restore single-surface cavities both in primary and in permanent posterior teeth, but its quality in restoring multiple surfaces in primary posterior teeth cavities needs to be improved. Insufficient information is available regarding the quality of ART restorations in multiple surfaces in permanent anterior and posterior teeth. There appears to be no difference in the survival of single-surface high-viscosity glass-ionomer ART restorations and amalgam restorations. Discussion The use of ART results in smaller cavities and in high acceptance of preventive and restorative care by children. Because local anaesthesia is seldom needed and only hand instruments are used, ART is considered to be a promising approach for treating children suffering from early childhood caries. ART has been implemented in the public oral health services of a number of countries, and clearly, proper implementation requires the availability of sufficient stocks of good high-viscosity glass ionomers and sets of ART instruments right from the start. Textbooks including chapters on ART are available, and the concept is being included in graduate courses at dental schools in a number of countries. Recent development and testing of e-learning modules for distance learning has increasingly facilitated the distribution of ART information amongst professionals, thus enabling more people to benefit from ART. However, this development and further research require adequate funding, which is not always easily obtainable. The next major challenge is the continuation of care to the frail elderly, in which ART may play a part. Conclusion ART, as part of the Basic Package of Oral Care, is an important cornerstone for the development of global oral health and alleviating inequality in oral care.

Factors associated with dental behaviour management problems in children aged 2-8 years in Beijing, China

Abstract: This study is the first to report BMP prevalence in mainland China. Our results indicate that a simple pre-treatment interview could provide data allowing the dentist to identify children with special dental behavioural needs.
