MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty children aged between 3.5 and 10.5 (10 F, 10 M) visiting the clinic of Yeditepe University were enrolled for the study. An audio recorder was hidden in the operatory room, the paediatric dentist was blind. The procedure was randomised as for each child only one appointment was recorded (one patient-one appointment-one procedure). Age, gender, appointment type, details of procedure performed were recorded. At the end of every session, records were investigated regarding verbal communication. RESULTS The paediatric dentist used a total of 5,005 words during the trial with minimum of 13 and max of 518 words in a session (mean 211.8 ± 153.1). There were no significant differences in the words used by the child and the practitioner regarding gender, session, and duration of being acquainted with (p>0.05). Regarding age groups, preschoolers (3.5-6 yrs old) significantly used more words than the schoolers (7- 10.5 yrs old) (p<0.05).
