ABSTRACT

Various conventional techniques have been used with great efficiency; nevertheless, the non-acceptance of some of them by the parents, certain ethical and legal conditions as well as changes in the current education and the advance in new technologies, force the dentist to a rethinking of attitudes. Aim: The aim of this paper is to identify what alternative techniques are used by professionals for the behavior’s management of pediatric patients in the dental clinic. Material and methods: A questionnaire was carried out on the Google platform, sent via email to 190 odonto / stomatologists who treated pediatric patients, obtaining a participation of 132 appropriate surveys for the analysis of 6 alternative behavior management techniques. The statistical study was carried out in the SPSS program, applying the ANOVA test for a significance of p = 0.05. Results: 35.1% of respondents used audiovisual media for dental treatment, being television the most frequently used. Music therapy was the most applied technique (70.5% of the participants) with the highest frequency of female sex, without significant differences though, being modern music the most widely accepted. 32.8% used play therapy as a management technique followed by the use of relaxation techniques with 25%, both with a higher female percentage. The two least used techniques were aromatherapy (6.8%) and hypnosis (2.3%). Conclusions: Despite the increase in the use of alternative techniques in behavior management, their use is still scarce by dentists / stomatologists.
