Detailed Description

I will receive the children for consultation at the CHU Saint Pierre - César de Paepe site, to assess the impact of parents' behavior on the child.

First, I will make a first contact with the child in the waiting room using the CORAH scale (self-assessment based on diagrams) which will allow him to assess his temperament in the face of dental care. . Then, I will have the parents / caregiver sign informed consent and authorization to film.

Once the child enters the practice, the video recording will be initiated: the installation on the seat, the confidence building and the care provided will be filmed.

These videos will then be analyzed by several practitioners from different categories (experts in pedodontics, general dentists, dental students, etc.) using the Venham hetero-assessment scale modified for the behavior of the child and of a scale of parental cooperation. These practitioners will be selected via the ADUB (association of dentists of Université Libre de Bruxelles) and some of them could be external to the hospital.

Following this study, the results obtained will be described and statistically analyzed.

Study Population

60 patients presenting for the first time to the pediatric dentistry consultation at the CHU Saint-Pierre - César de Paepe site were selected for this study between. 3 groups of 20 children, respectively aged 4 and under, 5 to 6 years old and over 7 years old, were formed.67 children participated in this study. They were divided into 3 groups according to their age (4 years and under, 5 to 6 years and 7 years and over). During the search, 7 patients were excluded: due to the image rights not granted. The data were collected and analyzed by 2 observers. Then a randomization took place thus creating a sample of 15 children divided into 3 same groups. The data were collected and analyzed by 20 practitioner observers
