Behaviour guidance in dentistry for patients with autism spectrum disorder using a structured visual guide

Abstract The non-pharmacological approach is integral to management in Paediatric and Special Care Dentistry. A structured visual guide has become popular as a technique and has been applied effectively in education and daily life for children with autism and learning disability. Recently, the visual guide system has been applied to patients with autistic spectrum disorder, using a series of pictures or drawing cards and boxes to explain the treatment procedures. The practical application of the visual guide in dentistry and its prospective view of the pedagogy are discussed.
