Brief summary

The aim of the experiment is to analyze the impact of the behavior of the accompanying parent on the behavior of the child during a first dental session according to the age group.

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.
