Abstract
Background and Objective: Unlike many other nontraditional management techniques, there is some evidence that live modelling is making its way into more dental clinics. Tell–Show–Do is the most commonly used technique in pediatric dentistry. The objectives of the present study are to evaluate and compare children response (aged 6-9 years) to these Live Modelling and Tell Show Do techniques during first visit treatment. Measuring objective and subjective parameters of stress, including pulse rate, oxygen saturation, and facial image scale. Materials and methods: The study was conducted on a sample Egyptian children presenting for the first time to the Pediatric Dental Clinic - Mansoura University, Egypt. Children aged 6-9 years, randomly divided into the following 3 groups: Group A: live modelling technique (mother as model). Group B: live modelling technique (father as model). Group C: tell–show–do technique. Each group composed 40 Children, 20 Girl and 20 Boy.
Results: All children were subjected to rotary prophylaxis treatment and the vital sign and FIS were recorded, the average pulse rate and FIS scores over the entire treatment period were significantly lower among girls/boys in group A (live modelling by mother) than among those in group B (live modelling by father) and group C (tell– show–do method); (P < 0.001). Oxygen saturation showed no significant differences between the three groups.
Conclusions: live modelling technique is valuable in Behaviour Management of pediatric dentistry.
