Book Description
Study was made of personality factors responsible for anxiety in individuals with impactions, in order to provide an effective method for identifying the patients most likely to be difficult during surgery. The personalities of 26 postoperative impaction patients were studied by means of psychiatric interview. Psychiatric data were scored in two ways. Results of one of the scoring methods had a significant correlation with the dental investigator's independent rating of the degree of cooperativeness during surgery. Characteristic of hyperreactive patients was a past history of dental or medical trauma-as shown by case studies. It is concluded that, by specific inquiry about past dental and medical trauma, many of the difficult surgical patients can be identified in advance. (Author).

Book Description
Guiding patient behavior is as important as ever for the practicing dentist, and the behavior of pediatric patients is perhaps the most challenging to manage. Drs. Wright and Kupietzky here update Dr. Wright’s classic work on managing pediatric dental patients. Behavior Management in Dentistry for Children,2nd Edition, has been entirely rewritten and includes the latest and most effective management strategies from an international team of experts in the field. The book addresses the influence of family and parenting styles on children’s behavior and the factors that determine how children behave in the dental office.

Clinical scenarios are described throughout the book, with practical application of the taught principles. The final part of the book covers the dental environment—training office personnel to manage children’s behavior, practical considerations for behavior guidance, and the effects of the physical dental office environment. Behavior Management in Dentistry for Children,2nd Edition, is ideal for pediatric residents, dental students, and practicing dentists who see children on a regular basis.
