A Randomized Controlled Trial on Comparative Evaluation of the Efficacy of Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy and Tell-show-do Technique in the Behavior Modification of Uncooperative Children during Restorative Procedure Using Airotor
Overview
This randomized controlled trial compares Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy (CBPT) and the Tell-Show-Do technique for managing uncooperative children aged 6–11 during restorative dental procedures without anesthesia. The study assessed behavior and anxiety levels using subjective scores and pulse rate measurements across two groups of sixty-two participants. Results indicated that CBPT, which involved role-playing with a customized toy, led to greater improvements in behavior and anxiety compared to the Tell-Show-Do approach.
