This study aimed to analyze the acceptance of undergraduate students in the first, sixth, and ninth semesters about the child behavioral management techniques and to explore the potential influence of the curriculum path on their perception. An online questionnaire (n=55) with questions about mental guidance techniques in Pediatric Dentistry was applied. Their accessibility was assessed using a Likert scale. The Kruskal-Wallis and the Dunn test were used to analyze the difference between the three groups of students. Spearman's correlation was used to analyze confounding factors. In general, all students exhibited greater acceptance of basic techniques when compared with voice control, protective stabilization, and pharmacological techniques. Participants in the ninth semester showed greater acceptance of “parent/team protective stabilization”, “voice control” and “wrap protective stabilization” techniques, and less acceptance of “parental presence/absence” and “promised reward” compared to the first semester. Compared to the sixth, students in the ninth semester had greater acceptance of “parent/team protective stabilization” and “wrap protective stabilization” techniques and less acceptance of “parental presence/absence”, “promised reward” and “explain that it may involve pain”. “Don’t let people talk” was the only technique that demonstrated a difference between the first and sixth semesters, with lower acceptance among students in the sixth semester. The student's semesters seem, therefore, to influence the acceptance of behavioral management techniques used in Pediatric Dentistry.
