ENRIQUEZ-QUISPE, Ronald Rosendo; FALCON-GUERRERO, Britto Ebert y QUISPE-CRUZ, Henry. Non-pharmacological techniques in the management of behavior before the dental treatment of the child. Arch méd Camagüey [online]. 2023, vol.27 Epub 03-Jul-2023. ISSN 1025-0255.
Introduction:
Many times the experience of the child finds a way to respond to a problem in a more credible way, being more real than the attention of the child's clinic is combined.
Objective:
To determine the effectiveness of these techniques in the control of anxiety in children before dental treatment.
Methods:
It was an experimental and quantitative subject; a sample population of 16 children from 6 to 11 years of age was taken. Which were made for intervention with non-pharmacological techniques.
Results:
After the analysis, the t-Student test was used, which is 56.25 % of the children of the experimental group and 50 % of the control group are in the age range of 8 to 9 years, 31.25% and 37.5% between 6 to 7 years and 12.50 % in both groups from 10 to 11 years respectively; unlike the control group, 75 % of the children before the care presented high anxiety, after which 68.75 % presented moderate anxiety.
Conclusions:
Non-pharmacological techniques are effective in managing behaviors in the dental office, unlike children in the control group without this intervention, they decrease to a moderate level.
