简要总结
Parental perceptions on staining due to Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) could affect its implementation in pediatric dentistry. This study represents the second part of a wider project focused on SDF aesthetic acceptability among Italian parents.
详细描述
The aim of this survey was to assess the parental acceptance of Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) staining in Italy, and to examine wether the level of acceptability depends on location, child's behavior, or demographic background. A cross-sectional study was undertaken, involving 234 Italian parents whose children were attending two university dental clinics. Using a validated Italian version of the questionnaire 'Parental Perceptions of Silver Diamine Fluoride Dental Color Changes', researchers administered a series of closed-ended Likert-type questions to parents. The questionnaire included sets of colored photographs showing both anterior and posterior teeth before and after SDF treatment. Respondents were requested to provide their assessments based on the presented visual stimuli.

主要结局
Parental overall acceptance of SDF staining on anterior and posterior teeth
时间窗: Baseline
Measurement tool: questionnaire. Specific questions focused on the general acceptability of the visible SDF staining for anterior and posterior teeth. Scores for levels of acceptability were 'unacceptable' (scoring 1), 'somewhat unacceptable' (scoring 2), 'somewhat acceptable' (scoring 3), and 'acceptable' (scoring 4). Higher scores mean a better outcome.
