目的：目的是评估和比较两种分心技术，魔术和移动的牙科游戏与告诉-显示-做（TSD）在管理焦虑children.METHODOLOGY：二百三十名4-5岁的儿童进行筛选，他们的基线焦虑使用Chotta Bheem-Chutki量表的有效性。采用随机双盲对照试验，对60名焦虑评分较高的儿童进行了研究。他们被随机分为三组。第一组接受了一个魔术分散注意力的技巧。第2组接受移动的牙科游戏牵引技术。第3组，对照组，给予TSD。结果：接受魔术（P = 0.001）、移动的牙科游戏（P <0.001）和TSD技术（P <0.001）的儿童的焦虑水平显著降低。根据接受牙科治疗的准备程度，三组之间存在统计学差异（P = 0.025）。移动的组的儿童接受治疗的速度比魔术和TSD groups.CONCLUSION：所有三种技术是同样有效地减少儿童的焦虑。在儿童接受牙科治疗的意愿方面，移动的牙科游戏上级优于魔术和TSD。
AIM: The aim was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of two distraction techniques, magic trick and mobile dental game with tell-show-do (TSD) in the management of anxious children.METHODOLOGY: Two hundred and thirty children aged 4-5 years were screened for their baseline anxiety using the Chotta Bheem-Chutki scale. A double-blinded randomized control trial was conducted among 60 children with high anxiety scores. They were randomly divided into three groups. Group 1 received a magic trick distraction technique. Group 2 received a mobile dental game distraction technique. Group 3, the control group received TSD. Readiness to accept the dental treatment and postoperative anxiety scores were recorded.RESULTS: Statistically significant reduction in the anxiety level was seen in children who received magic (P = 0.001), mobile dental game (P < 0.001), and TSD technique (P < 0.001). Based on the readiness to accept dental treatment, there was a statistically significant difference between the three groups (P = 0.025). The children in the mobile group were found to accept the treatment faster compared to the magic and TSD groups.CONCLUSION: All three techniques were equally effective in reducing the anxiety of children. The mobile dental game was superior to magic trick and TSD in terms of children's readiness to accept dental treatment.
