Use of filmed modeling to reduce uncooperative behavior of children during dental treatment

B G Melamed et al. J Dent Res. 1975 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

Sixteen inner city children attending a pedodontic clinic were shown either a filmed demonstration of a child model cooperatively undergoing dental treatment or a film unrelated to dental activity. The group viewing the modeling film showed significantly fewer disruptive behaviors during restorative care and were rated as less fearful than the control group.
