“…Working with uncooperative children is considered one of the most challenging experiences because the dentist’s clinical and management skills are truly tested. It is important that dentists have a wide range of behavior guidance techniques to meet the needs of the individual child, and are tolerant and flexible in the implementation of these techniques [ 1 ]. Children exhibit a broad range of physical, intellectual, emotional, and social attributes, accompanied by a diverse range of attitudes and temperaments [ 1 ].…”

BackgroundDental students receive theoretical and clinical training in pediatric behavioral guidance techniques at university. Therefore, the content of the educational course and the degree of training in behavioral techniques may have an impact on the students’ perceptions and practice of such techniques. The purpose of this study was to evaluate Saudi dental students’ perceptions of behavior guidance techniques used in pediatric dentistry, and to assess the changes in their perceptions after 1 academic year of a didactic and clinical educational course.MethodsThis longitudinal study was carried out once at the beginning and once at the end of the 2013/2014 academic year at the College of Dentistry, King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A questionnaire measuring the perceived acceptability of behavior guidance techniques was completed by 78 fourth-year dental students before and after a pediatric dental course. Acceptability ratings were scored on a 5-point Likert scale and compared and evaluated in relation to demographic data. Paired t-test and one-way analysis of variance were used for the statistical analyses.ResultsBefore the course, the highest scores were for reinforcement and desensitizing techniques and the lowest were for aversive and communicative techniques. After the course, statistically significant increases were found in the acceptability of aversive techniques (voice control and hand-over-mouth), all pharmacological techniques, and modeling. Most communicative techniques and clinical situations were also rated as significantly more acceptable. Statistically significant decreases in acceptability ratings were found in promising a toy, and immobilization by staff or a parent. Immobilization using a papoose board, modeling, the presence of parents during the child’s treatment, and most communicative techniques were rated as significantly more acceptable by male students than female students.ConclusionsIn general, Saudi dental students rated most basic behavior guidance techniques as acceptable. An educational course, including didactic and clinical components, improved their acceptability ratings, and had a considerable influence on their perceptions of behavior guidance in pediatric dentistry.

“…No entanto, quando questionados a respeito do recebimento de opções de tratamento odontológico para os filhos, somente 38,4% relataram as terem recebido, coincidindo com o resultado de Garbin et al 12 , 2002, em que 34,02% dos pais participaram das decisões do tratamento odontológico realizado na criança. Uma maior participação dos pais nas decisões sobre o atendimento odontológico dos filhos poderia gerar resultados positivos, pois de acordo com Feigal 9 (2001), isto cria um maior comprometimento da família no tratamento odontológico infantil.…”

Introdução: Segundo o Código de Ética Odontológica, é considerada infração o atendimento de pacientes infantis sem o consentimento dos pais ou responsáveis, salvo em situações de urgência. No tratamento odontopediátrico, é indispensável o esclarecimento dos pais em relação aos procedimentos a que seus filhos serão submetidos, as opções de tratamento existentes e seus custos, para que eles possam emitir um consentimento realmente esclarecido. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar se e de que forma os pais participam da tomada de decisões no atendimento odontológico de seus filhos. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa, utilizando-se um questionário, junto a 122 pais, cujos filhos tinham idades entre 0 e 6 anos e encontravamse matriculados em uma escola pública no município de Florianópolis. Verificou-se que 70,2% dos pais autorizaram o tratamento de seus filhos de forma verbal, apenas 5,3% deles assinaram um Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido e 61,6% não receberam opções de tratamento. Concluiu-se que a postura paternalista do profissional, tem imperado também nos consultórios odontopediátricos, onde as decisões deveriam ser compartilhadas com os responsáveis legais pela criança.

The influence of law on the orthodontic profession has greatly increased in the last few decades. Dental law has emerged today as a full-fedged specialty dealing with a variety of areas, like professional negligence, doctor-patient contracts, consumer protection laws, ethics, general and special health legislations and practice regulatory mechanisms. This article highlights the concept of informed consent which is based on the premise that each individual has a right to make decisions concerning his health, disease and treatment.How to cite this article: Jharwal V, Trehan M, Rathore N, Rathee P, Agarwal D, Mathur N.
