Summary

Dental behavior management problems (BMP) affect 10.5% of children, particularly younger ones. BMP is linked to missed appointments and more decay, with many cases seeing treatment postponed.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Dental Public Health
  • Behavioral Science in Dentistry

Background:

  • Dental behavior management problems (BMP) present challenges in pediatric dental care.
  • Understanding the prevalence and associated factors of BMP is crucial for effective intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence of BMP in a large cohort of Swedish children.
  • To identify factors associated with BMP and the dental health outcomes in affected children.

Main Methods:

  • Survey of 4505 Swedish children aged 4-11 years.
  • Analysis of dental charts from the Public Dental Service in Göteborg.
  • Data collection on BMP, treatment strategies, caries, fillings, local anesthetic use, and missed appointments.

Main Results:

  • 10.5% of children exhibited BMP, with higher prevalence in younger children and those with missed appointments.
  • BMP was associated with restorative treatment without local anesthetics.
  • Children with BMP had more carious surfaces and fewer filled surfaces.
  • Treatment postponement or no action was chosen in 43.4% of BMP cases.

Conclusions:

  • BMP is a significant issue in pediatric dentistry, impacting dental health and treatment approaches.
  • Younger age, missed appointments, and specific treatment scenarios are risk factors for BMP.
  • Current management strategies for BMP often involve delaying or avoiding dental treatment, necessitating further research into effective interventions.
