Children’s drawing, Dental office, Behavior managementAbstract
The Pediatric Dentist is the one with a great knowledge in the handling of the children behavior. This behaviour can be seen reflected in the different activities. Children's drawings are considered a way of expression, sometimes unconscious, of themselves as they are or as they would like to be. These represent a symbolic language that is necessary to understand and to interpret, are the projection of a significant world and a communication bridge. The purpose of this work was to analyze the general characteristics of the personality and the perception of the children patient at the pediatric dentist, through drawings.
