El manejo de conducta del paciente infantil es un componente clave para el éxito en la Odontopediatría, considerando estas técnicas como modelos de aprendizaje. En el presente estudio se aplicó un cuestionario de actitud basado en la escala de Likert, y un cuestionario de ansiedad basado en la escala de Corah y DASS (Depression Anxiety Stress Scale) adaptados para situaciones de atención dental en 120 padres de pacientes pediátricos en Licenciatura y Posgrado de la Facultad de Odontología de la UNAM, los cuales fueron divididos en tres grupos de acuerdo al método de información transmitido: exposición oral, video e información escrita. Los resultados mostraron que la técnica mejor percibida es la técnica decir-mostrar-hacer y la menos aceptada es la técnica de anestesia general; se observó que el método de información oral es el que generó menor ansiedad en los padres, mientras que la información transmitida a través de un video generó la mayor ansiedad. Esto conduce a la conclusión de que debemos hacer mayor énfasis en la explicación que se da a los padres acerca de los procedimientos a realizar con sus hijos.

Behavioral management is a very important issue for success in Pediatric Dentistry, considering these techniques as learning models. In this study, attitude questionnaires were applied based on the Likert scale, and anxiety questionnaires based on the Corah’s scale and DASS (Depression Anxiety Stress Scale) adapted for dental situations to 120 pediatric patient’s parents at Undergraduate and postgraduate school at the School of Dentistry at UNAM. They were divided into three groups according to the information received: oral explanation, video and written information. The results showed that the best perceived technique was tell-show-do, and the least accepted was the general anesthesia technique; it was observed that the oral information method generated the least anxiety in parents, whereas the information transmitted through a video, generated the greatest anxiety. This lead to the conclusion that we must emphasize our attention to the explanation we give parents about the procedures we apply to their children.
