Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) gained importance during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, which is a global hot topic for all healthcare staff.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To assess children and parents preferences about dentists' appearance concerning their PPE and to determine the relationship between the preferences of the children and their parents.

A total of 250 children aged with 6-12 years and their parents were enrolled in the study. Standardised pictures with different sex, attire, eye protector, hair protector, mask and gloves were shown to children and their parents separately and asked to chose their preferences. Dental anxiety of children and their parents were determined with MCDASf and MDAS, respectively. Decayed-missing-filled teeth (DMFT) index was employed to the children.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Children

1. The Faces Version of Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale (MCDASf), which is a psychometric dental anxiety scale for children with eight questions, was used to determine the dental anxiety levels of the children.
2. The children's preferences for the appearance of dentists were determined in the second part.
3. Routine dental examinations of children with a dental mirror and artificial light were completed by an experienced pediatric dentist according to the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines and criteria.

Dental anxiety scales

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

* The Faces Version of Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale (MCDASf), which is a psychometric dental anxiety scale for children with eight questions, was used to determine the dental anxiety levels of the children. The scores of each question are represented by varying cartoon faces according to emotions ranging from 1 'relaxed' to 5 'very anxious'. The total scores range from 8 to 40. The scores were categorized as not anxious (\>9), slightly anxious (9-16), fairly anxious (17-24), very anxious (25-32), and extremely anxious (33-40).
* the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) was administered to parents, differently from children. The MDAS has five questions. The scores of each question range from 1 'relaxed' to 5 'very anxious.' The total score ranges from 5 to 25.

Parents

1. The questionnaire including demographic information (age, sex, and medical and dental history) was applied to the parents.
2. In the second section, the MDAS was administered to parents, differently from children.
3. The parents' preferences for the appearance of dentists were determined in the second part.
