Randomized controlled trial shows behavior management improves dental fear and compliance in preschool children with dental caries, indicating need for future studies.
The findings of this study indicated scenario-experiential behavior management techniques showed significant advantages in alleviating dental fear in preschool children and improving their compliance during visits. Through one-on-one interactive games, both children and their parents receive clear explanations of dental procedures, which helps improve their overall satisfaction. However, due to some limitations of this study, it would be necessary to conduct randomized controlled trials with large sample size, long follow-up time and more standardized treatment and evaluation methods in the future to provide more accurate and clinically meaningful results.
