A total of 31 articles were identified in the databases. Subsequently, two researchers independently selected the articles by searching the titles and reading the abstracts and duplicates. Finally, four articles were included in the literature review. Conclusion: Children with high levels of emotional intelligence could present less anxiety and cope better with dental procedures. |
