[Desensitization during play situation for children with negative behaviour in stomatological environment].

Abstract

A new form of desensitization during play situation for children, aged from to six, is applied. The method includes a fictitious treatment of the children with the participation of a figurative toy and a play-sketch. The children have shown fear reactions and negative behaviour in stomatological environment before the desensitization. The results from the study confirm the effectiveness of that form in influencing the fear and behaviour of the children in stomatological environment.
