Abstract:

The objective of this study was to see how the parenting style of a child's parents affected the "tell-show-do" approach of behavior control during their first dental checkup and operation. Also, to determine how the behavior of the parents affects the behavior of the child, the study included 15 children aged 0 to 4 years old, as well as the people who cared for them and volunteered to participate. To determine how the parents raised their children, the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ) was employed. The patients underwent a dental exam, followed by a class I restorative treatment, and their conduct was assessed using Frankel's behavior rating scale. The TSD behavior-shaping method was used on all of the patients, and its efficiency was observed. There was a statistically significant association (p = 0.044) between how a parent raised their child and how effectively a behavior modification method (BMT) was performed during the first dentist exam. The strategy was effective with children whose parents were in charge. The parents had to be present during the initial dental test, and how the parents acted affected how the child behaved in the dental operatory. The child's behavior in the dentist's office was influenced by how his parents felt. Regardless of how the parents felt about it, the BMT was an important element of getting the child to participate more during the dental procedure.
