Abstract
Significantly less negative behavior was observed in children exposed to either desensitization or model learning therapy before undergoing restorative dental treatment than in children given more customary initial dental experiences. This difference was not observed during an initial examination. The two therapy groups did not differ significantly from each other on any of the visits.Keywords
