Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate and compare the three different behavior management techniques in reducing dental anxiety during dental restorative procedure.Timepoint: At 1stvisit: Before intervention - Once the child enters the department, anxiety level will be checked by measuring Heart Rate, Oxygen saturation and RMS Pictorial Scale. After intervention - The respective child will be directed to a separate room to receive a particular intervention.All the parameters will be noted during Oral Prophylaxis procedure once again. At 2nd visit: The child�s response will be noted before and during treatment procedure.All the parameters will be noted.
