Behavior guidance techniques are psychological techniques for creating a positive dental attitude in the child, performed by the dentist and dental staff so that pediatric patients can be treated effectively and adequately. It is aimed at strengthening the child’s coping skills, completing the dental treatment in a willing and accepting way, and reducing the child’s perception of dental interventions as a dangerous situation by applying different behavior management techniques. When the current literature and clinical guidelines on the subject are examined, it has been seen that new non-pharmacological behavior management techniques that can be used in pediatric dentistry have been defined. The purpose of this review is to provide a guide for updated behavior management techniques that can be used by dentists during the treatment of pediatric patients and in atraumatic treatment sessions.
