Introduction:
Behaviour management is a major challenge that affects the quality of dental treatment in paediatric Dentistry. Dental fear and anxiety is commonly associated with behaviour management difficulties in achieving a successful dental treatment for children.
Materials and methods

Behaviour during the dental treatment was also assessed. Correlation of dental fear and behaviour during treatment was assessed.
Results
Conclusion
Children who reported having dental fearful were 1.8 times likely to exhibit negative behaviour during dental treatment compared to children who were not fearful.
