Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) enable the development of personalized storybooks tailored to each participant's individual characteristics and preferences, which may improve engagement with behavior guidance interventions.\n\nThis randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of three behavior guidance approaches in pediatric participants receiving dental treatment: (1) an AI-generated personalized dental storybook, (2) a standard dental storybook, and (3) standard behavior guidance alone. Eligible participants will be randomly allocated to one of the three study groups. The AI-generated storybook will be individually designed according to each participant's characteristics and interests, whereas the standard storybook will contain the same dental theme without personalization. Participants in the control group will receive routine non-pharmacological behavior guidance used in pediatric dental practice.
