Abstract

Objectives
The purpose is to establish positive relationships between pediatric patients, their guardians, and dental workers by investigating behavioral induction methods used in pediatric treatment and to encourage active cooperation during dental treatment of pediatric patients, leading to successful treatment.
Methods
From March 2023 to September 2023, general hospitals, dental hospitals, and dental clinics were randomly selected and a survey was conducted on guardians of pediatric patients and dental workers, and a total of 154 copies were used in the final analysis.
Results
The difference in perception of physical restraint as a behavioral induction method was that 49 people (65.3%) perceived that guardians could only allow physical methods that would not put them in dangerous situations, while dental workers could only accept physical methods that would not put them in dangerous situations. Only 41 people (51.9%) could allow it.
Conclusions
In the clinic, a positive relationship must be maintained between dentists, patients, and guardians, and effective behavioral induction methods must be applied to maximize the efficiency of pediatric dental care.
