| The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy between systematic desensitization and video self- modeling as behavior guidance technique and estimation of salivary cortisol levels in children with autism spectrum disorder.Timepoint: 18 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) To estimate salivary cortisol levels in children with autism spectrum disorder prior to dental treatment 2) To estimate the salivary cortisol levels in children with autism spectrum disorder after using the systematic desensitisation as behaviour guidance technique. 3) To estimate the salivary cortisol levels in children with autism spectrum disorder after using the video self-modeling as behavior guidance technique. 4) To compare the salivary cortisol levels between the two groups. 5) To compare the efficiency between the two non-pharmacological behavior guidance techniques.
