The use of behavior modification techniques to successfully manage the child dental patient.

Techniques of desensitization, modeling, and contingency management that can be used in the dental office for reducing anxiety and encouraging appropriate behavior in children are discussed. The "tell, show and do" approach is one desensitization technique easily applied in the private practice. Language should be at the child's level of understanding. An older sibling will frequently serve as an excellent model for a fearful child. Social reinforcers-a handshake, a smile, or praise-should be dispensed throughout dental treatment. Rewards should only follow desired behavior.

[Cases of clinical failures].

During the past 4 years, the Department of Health of the State of Berne received 91 complaints of patients about dental treatment. Most of the cases could be settled by proposals of the dental section of the state medical council. Most frequently crown and bridgework was the reason for complaints, secondly partial and complete dentures followed by restorative work and excessive grinding on teeth. Complete information of the patient about treatment possibilities, clear estimate of costs and referals for consultations would reduce the number of complaints.
