摘要：Pediatric dentists use different strategies to deal with children’s behavior during dental visits. Thisresearch intended to characterize the behaviors of the pediatric dentist and of the children during thedental visit. Two pediatric dentists and twenty children were requested to take part in the research.Ten of these children were attended during preventative visits and ten during emergencies. The datawere collected in a school-clinic of pediatric dentistry through videos and the categorization of thedentist’s and children’s behavior. Of the children, 40% presented a high frequency of opponentresponses, which were most frequent on the emergency attendances, comparing with the preventativevisits. The pediatric dentist issued, in general, more adequate responses than inadequate responses,even with 75% of the opponent children; the inadequate responses were presented on the emergencyattendances. It was concluded that the kind of attendance exerts influence on the dentist’s andchildren’s behavior.
