Brief Summary

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

Space maintainers are frequently used to prevent malocclusion problems in early primary tooth loss. Oral health literacy is defined as the capacity of individuals to learn, understand and evaluate basic oral health information. It is considered that parents' awareness of space maintainers may be affected by various factors such as their demographic characteristics and oral health literacy. The aim was to evaluate the relationship between variables by determining parents' awareness of space maintainers and their oral health literacy.

Detailed Description

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

This cross-sectional study included 600 children and their parents. The survey, which included questions about sociodemographic characteristics and space maintainer awareness, was administered to parents face to face. Then, parents' oral health literacy levels were measured with TREALD-30 and TREALD-30A scales.
