Abstract

Background: The aim of behavior management is to instill a positive dental attitude in the anxious patient. It is the means by which the dental team can effectively and efficiently perform treatment, and encourages a child to have a long-term interest in improving dental health and the ongoing prevention of disease. Aim of the study was to evaluate the behavior of the children by using various behavior management techniques like thaumaturgy, live modelling and tell show do.

Method: A total of 120 children, aged between 5-6 years fulfilling eligibility criteria were taken for the study. three groups were made and comparison was done between three behaviour management techniques: thaumaturgy, live modelling and tell show do. behaviour was recorded using Frankel behaviour rating scale was recorded before and after the procedure.

Results: there was significant difference between thaumaturgy and other behaviour management techniques live modelling and tell show do (p=0.005). there was no statistical change in the behaviour between tell show do and live modelling.

Conclusions: Thaumaturgy technique is better at reducing anxiety levels and all the three behaviour management techniques were effective in installing positive behaviour.
