Abstract

This work intends to investigate the behavioral changes of 0 to 30 months babies and to associate the different patterns to the pre and post-eruptive oral phase. It was verified that when children have no teeth, most part of them (76%) have a positive behavior (D conduct) and when the eruption and cleaning procedures start there is a change for worse, passing from 76% of D conduct to 45%, showing a decrease in the predominance of the positive conduct. Another important factor verified was that mothers reported that the children are more receptive for the use of toothbrush and dentifrice than to the cleaning with gauze and dilute H202 (Hydrogen Peroxide) and they also reported that infantile toothbrushes are not adequate for children of these ages (0 to 30 months), existing the need of their adequacy to avoid that this fact deviates these children from their toothbmshing habits.
