Article Synopsis
- The study focused on identifying and standardizing terms and descriptions for Dental Behaviour Support (DBS) techniques used in dentistry, aiming to improve clarity and understanding of these practices.
- Through a modified e-Delphi study involving 35 experts, a consensus was reached on 42 DBS techniques but agreement on distinguishing features for some techniques was less clear.
- The results suggest that while terminology for DBS techniques is now more consistent, categorizing these techniques based on learning principles remains complex due to varying contexts of application.
Background: Dental behavior support (DBS) describes all techniques used by dental professionals to ensure that dental care is safe, effective, and acceptable. There is a need to standardize outcome measures across DBS techniques to reduce heterogeneity, limit selective reporting, promote consistency, and optimize outcomes across DBS research. A comprehensive review of existing measures is a prerequisite to understanding potential outcomes related to the area of interest.

This lack of specification leads to imprecision in describing, understanding, teaching and implementing behaviour support techniques in dentistry (DBS).
Methods: This review aims to identify the labels and associated descriptors used by practitioners to describe DBS techniques, as a first step in developing a shared terminology for DBS techniques.
