Technological developments and advances have influenced the emergence of a new generation, known as Generation Alpha. This generation comprises those born between 2010 and 2025. Born into a digital-savvy era, this generation has different characteristics from previous generations. This study aims to identify their special characteristics so that an approach can be taken, especially in managing children of the alpha generation in dentistry. A systematic search for articles, published between 2013 and 2023 analyzing the characteristics and behavior of the alpha generation and management behavior found in dentistry was conducted through PubMed, Google Scholar, SCOPUS, and EBSCO. The final analysis was carried out on 47 articles consisting of 10 articles discussing the characteristics of the alpha generation in general and 37 articles discussing the management of their behavior in dentistry. All the published articles found that an alpha child's characteristics are closely related to behavior management in dentistry. The ease with which alpha children adapt to technology is one of the strategies for managing the behavior of alpha children. However, apart from this, the alpha children tend to be unappreciative of the process, which can affect dental behavior management. Specific characteristics of the alpha generation, such as increased exposure to technology, digital media consumption habits, and lack of respect for the process, have important implications for communication and adaptation to patient behavior management in dentistry. Understanding these characteristics is crucial for designing an effective communication strategy and adjusting appropriate behavior management to maintain the quality of dental care for this generation in the dentistry environment.

Background Oral health is a significant part of general health. Poor oral health can influence an individual’s appearance, self-esteem, eating, and speaking. The use of mobile phone apps has been growing in the field of medicine, including dentistry. However, to date, there is no evidence related to the availability of mobile apps focusing on various branches of dentistry. Objective The aim of this study was to review the scientific literature on the use of patient-oriented mobile phone apps in oral health and summarize the key findings. Methods A scoping review of published scientific literature on the use of patient-oriented mobile phone apps in oral health was conducted in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute. A search was performed in PubMed and Scopus for studies published between January 2000 and June 2021 that were written in English. All study types except for those reporting developmental protocols were included in this review. In total, 2 reviewers independently screened the studies using the eligibility criteria. The study protocol was registered in the Open Science Framework registries in June 2021. Results The initial search yielded a total of 977 studies, 45 (4.6%) of which met the inclusion criteria. All the studies (45/45, 100%) were published after 2009. Most studies (31/45, 69%) concerned oral health promotion using mobile phone apps, followed by behavior management (5/45, 11%). More than half (23/45, 51%) of the included studies were conducted in Asian countries. Overall, 31% (14/45) of the studies focused on adolescents. A total of 51% (23/45) of the studies were randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Approximately 39% (9/23) of the included RCT studies reported a substantial reduction in dental plaque, and 26% (6/23) of the studies reported significant improvement in gingival health. Regarding dental anxiety management, 13% (3/23) of the RCT studies reported a significant decrease in mean heart rate and lower Facial Image Scale scores. Conclusions According to the literature, the use of mobile apps in oral health is increasing among patients, mainly children and adolescents. Many studies that have used mobile apps have focused on promoting oral health. However, other areas such as diagnostic and remote consultations (teledentistry) have until recently been neglected despite their great potential.

“…However, in search of the literature, a few studies could be found on managing pediatric patients using the TPD technique (Kevadia et al, 2020). Therefore, this study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the tellplay-do technique compared to the tellshow-do technique in managing anxious children.…”

“…In the tell-play-do technique, children were asked to play with toys that imitate dental devices, such as a saliva ejector, a mouth mirror, dental probe, and air/ water syringe (Kevadia et al, 2020). A child's uncooperative behavior can hinder the effective administration of dental care.…”

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the tell-play-do technique compared to the tell-showdo technique in managing anxious children. Methodology: Thirty-four children aged 4-6 years were included in the current study. Children were randomly assigned to intervention (Tell-play-do technique) and control groups (Tell-show-do technique). The level of dental anxiety was assessed using a finger pulse oximeter at three intervals during the procedure. The operator evaluated the child's behavior during the procedure in each group using the FLACC (Face, Leg, Activity, Cry, Consolability) behavioral pain assessment scale. The ease of handling the patient (during the procedure) and the ease of carrying out the procedure by the pediatric dentist after using the two behavior modification techniques were assessed by using a questionnaire. Results: After behavior management and at the end of the visit, the control group had a significantly higher heart rate than the intervention group (p=0.016 and p <0.001), respectively. Behavior evaluation results reported a significant difference between both groups (p<0.001). Both groups had a significant difference (p<0.001) regarding the ease of handling patients and the ease of doing the procedure in favor of the intervention group. Conclusion: Tell-play-do technique was more successful than the Tellshow-do technique in reducing the children's anxiety. Most of the children in the tell-play-do group were relaxed and comfortable compared to those in the tell-show-do group, which showed mild discomfort. The tell-play-do group revealed better results regarding the ease of handling the patient and the ease of doing the procedure by the operator.
