Objective: To determine the associated factors with collaboration of Peruvian children during dental treatment.
Materials and methods: An observational, analytical and cross-sectional study. A structured interview
was carried out with the companions and an evaluation of the collaboration in the children (Frankl scale).
Sociodemographic, dental (previous dental experience, previous dental visit, tooth treated and dental procedure)
and psychological factors (maternal and infant anxiety) were investigated. The Kruskal-Wallis test, chi-square
and binary logistic regression were used. Results: The sample consisted of 175 children and their companions,
these presented low anxiety (54.95%) and the children presented positive collaboration (72.57%). The age of the
companion and previous dental experience had an OR = 0.42; 95% CI: 0.103 - 1.717 and OR = 1.941; 95% CI:
0.39 - 9.656 respectively (p> 0.05). The dental procedure and the child’s anxiety had an OR = 0.201; 95% CI: 0.043
- 0.930 and OR = 5.733; 95% CI: 1,478 - 22,238 respectively (p <0.05). Conclusion: The factors associated with the
collaboration of Peruvian children during dental treatment are the child’s anxiety and the dental procedure.
