Abstract

Dental treatment is a situation that can cause stress, and eventually increasing the level of fear in children. Several communicative, advance and pharmacological interventions have been established to manage dental fear and uncooperative behavior in children, and it is more recommended focusing more on the non-pharmacological intervention. The purpose of this test is to evaluate the film and live modeling effects in reducing dental fear in pre-school children. The participants are students of Sekeloa Kindergaten Bandung Indonesia that have never been visit the dentists before. The program consists of five sessions that are divided into two visits, i.e. the visit in classroom and in dental practice room. Assessments before and after the model film simulation and after the treatment testing, each of the children is measured for the DF level using Facial Image Scales. Forty-five children participating in this intervention program. Before the film model simulation there is a balance between the number of children who are afraid and who are not afraid. After the film simulation, the number of children who are afraid is decreased. And so, after the test session, the number is decreasing a lot. The use of modeling video has a beneficial potency for clinical practices in reducing fear.

Introduction

Dental fear (DF), or feeling afraid and

anxious about visiting a dentist, is a significant problem for most children and teenagers, with a prevalence of about 5 to 20% in various countries. In some cases, severe DF is considered a dental phobia.1,2,3 Children and teenagers with DF usually show uncooperative behavior during the dental visit, which causes difficulties in dental treatment.2 This behavior affects treatment results, creates stress for the dental clinic staff, and usually causes conflict between the dentist and patients or their parents. Children and teenagers who are severely afraid avoid or delay treatment, which will eventually worsen their dental and oral health.

DF also causes sleep difficulty, affects

daily activities,4 and has a negative impact on the individual’s psychological function.5 DF that appears in childhood can be sustained continuously to adulthood, becoming a significant predictor of dental treatment rejection in adults.6 Thus, it is critical that DF be identified, intercepted, and prevented in childhood, so that the individual’s oral and dental health can be maintained for a longer period.

Dental treatment can cause stress and eventually increase the levels of fear and rejection in children. While DF in children is common, it is considered a situational and transient anxiety. Several communicative, advanced, and pharmacological interventions have been established to manage DF and uncooperative behavior in children.7 The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends focus on more non-pharmacological interventions.8

The child’s initial visit to the dentist is critical for establishing the child’s attitude toward dentistry and its effect on the success of any ensuing treatment. Dentists aware of a child’s anxiety in advance of the first visit and dental treatment often use the Tell-Show-Do Technique.
