Abstract
Eye tracking technology is a powerful tool for capturing and analyzing
visual attention and cognitive processing in real time. In pediatric
dentistry—where effective treatment delivery depends not only on clinical skill
but also on a profound understanding of child behavior and emotional
responses—eye tracking offers novel applications for improving patient care,
communication, and dental education. This non-invasive technology provides
objective insight into visual engagement, anxiety markers, and operator
efficiency. It also aids in optimizing behavior guidance techniques, evaluating
distraction tools, enhancing operatory design, and informing ergonomic
adjustments for dental teams. Furthermore, eye tracking contributes to training
and research by mapping clinician gaze behavior and decision-making during
pediatric procedures. This review explores the working principles of eye
tracking, its diverse applications in pediatric dental settings, its advantages
and limitations, and future possibilities with AI integration and
Tele-dentistry expansion
