A proper communication combined with a caring attitude develops sound rapport with any paediatric patient. Non-pharmacological behaviour management techniques enable paediatric dentists to successfully alleviate behavioural problems by matching their selection of techniques to that of the child’s style of interaction. On the other hand, few aggressive techniques applied in childhood have been implicated as being prominent factors in the behaviour of developed adult patients with dental phobias. The aim of instilling positive reinforcement is achieved by conventional methods but disruptiveness increases with increase in treatment time. Hence, to overcome this disadvantage newer non-threatening techniques were handled by the paediatric dentists, which provide long time reinforcement in younger children. This review will focus on enumerating the recent advances in non-pharmacological behaviour management techniques in children.
