Detailed Description

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

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.
