Abstract Dental anxiety is one of the major obstacles that face the pediatric dentist and interferes with the delivery of optimum quality dental service for children. That’s why pediatric dentist should invest time and effort to control the children’s dental anxiety and reduce it as much as possible before, during and after the dental treatment. This randomized clinical trial was conducted at the postgraduate clinic in the Pediatric Department and Dental Public Health at Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University to evaluate child anxiety after using live modelling and filmed modelling and tell-show-do on children from 5-6 years old facing their first dental visit. Fifty four (54) children (27 girls and 27 boys) (18 in each group) were enrolled in this study and randomly allocated into three groups. group A: in the first dental visit the child was subjected to live modelling technique and in the second dental visit the patient received the required dental treatment. group B: in the first dental visit the child was subjected to video modelling technique and in the second dental visit the patient received the required dental treatment. group C: in the first dental visit the child was subjected to tell-show-do technique and in the second dental visit the patient received the required dental treatment. The results of this study revealed that there was no statistical significance in the results of Facial Image Scale, except during the cavity preparation, where there was statistically significant difference between the three groups. However, there was no statistically significant difference in the findings of pulse oximeter record before the procedure, during the anesthetic injection and during the cavity preparation. |
