Abstract

Objectives: To determine the correlation between parenting style and children’s behavior during
dental treatment, and to look the most eff ective parenting style in keeping the child most comfortable during dental treatment.
Materials and Methods: One hundred and ninety children and their parents were included in
this study. Parenting styles were assessed using the Parenting style and dimension questionnaire,
which was modifi ed, validated by the senior faculty, and piloted. A sound eye-motor (SEM) scoring
chart was used to record the child’s comfort level during dental treatment.
Results: The fi ndings revealed that SEM scoring and parental authoritative style had signifi cant
and negative relationships (p=0.008). Parental Authoritarian, parental permissive, and parental
neglect styles had signifi cant and positive relationships with the SEM scores (p=0.01, p=0.004,
and p=0.001, respectively). The mean SEM score in male was 1.25±1.00, while in females it was
1.06±0.98(p=0.26). Of the four parenting styles, authoritative parenting was found to be the most
relevant to the positive behavior of the children exhibited during dental treatment.
Conclusion: Authoritative parenting style had a signifi cant but negative relationship with the
SEM score. Authoritarian, Permissive and Neglectful parenting styles had signifi cant but positive
relationships with the SEM scores
