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.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the adherence of randomized controlled trials of nutrition interventions to transparency practices informing assessments of selective reporting biases, including the availability of a trial registration entry, protocol and statistical analysis plan (SAP).

Study Design And Setting: Retrospective observational study with cross-sectional design. We systematically searched for trials published from 1 July 2019, to 30 June 2020, and included a randomly selected sample of 400 studies.

Introduction: There is no agreed taxonomy of the techniques used to support patients to receive professional oral healthcare. 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.
