Abstract

---

Behaviour management in child dentistry is an art & science aimed at establishing a confidence relationship between patient and practitioner . So many children are capable to cope well with potentially distressing situations, whereas others are more vulnerable to their own fears and impulses, thus making them more likely to react with emotional symptoms or non-cooperative behaviours .The children’s reactions to dental treatment are associated with age, temperament characteristics, maturity, personality, previous experiences, and common and dentist-related fears . Update of behavioural guidance techniques is essential to improve the quality of holistic dental management of children.
