Dental fear and anxiety (DFA) serves as significant problem in child patient management as it leads to greater prevalence and increased severity of the disease associated with delayed dental visits. Therefore, it is necessary to effectively predict children dental behaviour and identify children at risk of Behaviour Management problems. Study of factors influencing DFA and its association with behaviour in children during first dental visit. The study included 209 children (5-14 years). DFA levels were assessed using 3 standardised questionnaires i.e. Facial Image Scale (FIS), Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS), Children’s Fear Survey Schedule – Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS). The behaviour of the child was then assessed using Frankl’s Behaviour Rating Scale (FBRS). The data were analysed, and a correlation was established between DFA and behaviour using statistical analysis. Presence of DFA according to FIS is 13.4%, according to DAS is 15.2% and according to CFSS-DS is 17.7%. Maximum participants showed positive behaviour (81.8%) according to FBRS. Factors causing maximum Dental anxiety according to DAS was anticipation of treatment (26.30%) and factor which caused maximum dental fear according to CFSS-DS was injections (45.4%). There is association between DFA and behaviour in children during first dental visit. This study will help assess the factors which lead to dental fear and anxiety in children and also find a correlation between dental fear and anxiety and behaviour management problems which can help the Paedodontist to predict various behaviour management problems and to avoid the factors which lead to them before the initiation of the dental treatment. This can lead to a decrease in the fear and anxiety levels of children which will further lead to better treatment and in turn better case management.

Introduction:  Dental treatment of uncooperative children is a challenge to Paediatric dentists. If psychological behaviour management techniques are inadequate then restraints may be considered. Aim: To assess the preference of use of restraints by post graduate students in Pediatric Dentistry in Bengaluru. Method: A self administered questionnaire was designed, which contained 12 questions that assessed the demographic data and information on the use of physical, mechanical, and positioning devices in clinical practice. Information was also obtained on consent. Results: A total of 80 postgraduate students participated in the survey. Our study revealed that 72.5% postgraduate students treat patients with some form of restraints. Only 26 % received training on the use of restraints. It was also observed that 70% have used HOME technique and 92.3% obtain only verbal consent before the use of restraints. Conclusion: Majority of the postgraduate students used restraints to treat patients even though they have not received any formal training. CDE programs and workshops presented by specialists or faculty may be used to update the postgraduate students on the use of restraints. Keywords: behavior management techniques, restraints, postgraduate students
