In order to identify the ages at which children may accept recumbent-position brushing, we had a number of mothers perform recumbent-position brushing upon normal preschool children (ages 0-6 years), and observed the children's behavior. 79 children (79.0%), classified as the adaptive group, were seen to have no negative reaction or behavior whatsoever to recumber-position brushing. However, 21 children (21.0%) composed an unadaptive group in which some rejective behavior was observed. As a result of analyses by AIC, the calender age which thus distinguishes the adaptive group from the unadaptive group was 2 years and 6 months. It was concluded that children 2 years and 6 months or older are adaptive to recumbent-position brushing while those less than 2 years and 6 months are unadaptive., application/pdf}, pages = {148--154}, title = {Children's Behavior to Toothbrushing by Parents}, volume = {21}, year = {1995} }
