Introduction: Uncooperative behaviours of Paediatric patients disrupt the quality of the treatment rendered, thereby increasing the treatment time, triggering restlessness amongst the young patients and in some instances increase risk of accidental injury. Objective: To assess the parental acceptance of different behavior management techniques (BMTs) used during dental treat ment of children in three major ethnic groups (Chinese, Malay, and Indian) in Malaysia. Methods: A total of 72 parents were included in the study, further divided into 3 groups depending on ethnicity. Two university hospitals within Malaysia were chosen for data collection in the years 2019 and 2020. A videotape was used according to the American Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (AAPD) derived BMTs to showcase consenting parents ten of the AAPD approved BMTs in the following order: Tell Show Do, Voice Control, Modelling, Action Restraints, Distraction, Parents Present or Absent (PP/A), Hand Over Mouth (HOM), Nitrox Oxide (NO), Oral sedation (OS) and General Anaesthesia (GA). The parents were asked by a coordinator to mark on the scale. Results: Statistical analysis of individual BMTs revealed a significant difference in the three ethnicities (P=0.05) with all other techniques remaining unremarkable when compared in the three groups. Conclusion: Tell-show-do, distraction and modelling parental presence/absence and reinforcements have been shown to pro duce similarly acceptable results amongst. Physical restraint, oral sedation and general anaesthesia were the least approved in the current study
