The present study evaluated the impact of pictorial story on behavioral feedback, pain perception and situational anxiety considering intelligent quotient during dental treatment in pediatric dental patients. Eighty children, aged 6–7 years, attending the Department of Paediatric Dentistry of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences took part in this study. Participants' intelligent quotient was assessed using Rayven's Progressive Matrices and their childhood anxiety related disorders was evaluated by Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders (SCARED) parent version scale. Subjects were randomly allocated to one of two experimental groups: listening to pictorial story about going to dentistry or listening to pictorial story about going to barber. After listening to pictorial story, subjects entered a dental setting for treatment. The subjects' pain perception, then, was assessed using Wong-Baker Fasces Pain Rating Scale and situational anxiety measured by Faces version of the Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale. Subjects' behavior was assessed using Sound Eye Motor scale during dental treatment.
