Introduction: Despite the introduetion of numerous behaviorel techniques, pediatric dental treatment is still a complex challenge for the dantal team and families. The aim of this study was to introduec the innovative method of "Intentional mistake distrcation" and to compare its effectiveness with the "common distraction" technique in the dental treatment of 3 pediatric patients.
Case description: In this case series, 3 cases, including 2 boys and 1 girl, were treated using the behavioral methods “Intentional mistake distraction” and “Conversational distraction” in a crossover (split-mouth) designs. The children's behavioral responses were assessed at the time oF local anesthetic injection and during tooth extractioin using the Sound Eye Motor (SeM) scale. The results showed that the samples had lower scores during treatment with the “Intentional mistake distraction” method than during treatment using Conversation distraction.
Conclusion: Considering the lower behavioral responsed of children when using Intentional mistakas distraction compared to Conversational distraction when applying painful stimuli, it seems that this technique can promise effective results in guiding children's behavior.
