Abstract: (34 Views)
Background: Paying attention to parents' wishes and opinions is an important issue in choosing the treatment technique by the dentist. Despite the relatively low attitude of parents towards the use of the "parental presence/absence" technique, dentists still use this technique during the dental treatment of children. The present study was conducted with the aim of simultaneously investigating the attitude of dentists regarding the "presence/absence of parents" technique during the treatment of 4-10-year-old children and determining the factors affecting this attitude.
Methods and materials:In this cross-sectional study, the attitude of 83 dentists regarding the "presence/absence of parents" technique was measured with the help of a researcher-made questionnaire tool. The questionnaire scored the attitude of dentists regarding the above technique and evaluated the background factors affecting the child's attitude. The data were analyzed with the help of SPSSV 24 statistical software at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: The average score of the participants' attitude was 60.61±12.99. Also, 55.4 percent of the participants considered this technique "unsuccessful". The factors "type of treatment", "age of the child", "behavior of the child", "behavior of the parents" and "applying the technique of presence/absence" had a significant effect on the attitude of the participants.
Conclusion: dentists do not have a high attitude regarding the "presence/absence of parents" technique. According to dentists working in the field of children, the success of this technique in guiding children's behavior is not high.
