Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this pilot study was to assess the knowledge and perceptions surrounding the use of fake snap-on veneers, as well as to evaluate the experiences of individuals who have used them.

Materials and methods: This study was conducted between October 2021 and January 2022. A questionnaire was distributed through social media platforms to individuals aged >18 years in Saudi Arabia, which assessed their personal and sociodemographic information and perceptions and experiences with fake snap-on veneers. The statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses, and multiple logistic regressions.

Results: The study included 466 participants, with the majority being young adults, with an almost equal sex distribution. The study highlighted a general reluctance to use these veneers because of concerns about dental damage and esthetics. Women and younger individuals showed higher awareness, and regional variations indicated potential cultural influences on the perception of these dental devices. Most users experienced discomfort and did not recommend the fake snap-on veneers.

Conclusion: This study sheds light on a cautious approach toward fake snap-on veneers, despite their esthetic appeal. This underscores the need for strict regulations, public awareness campaigns, and ethical dental practices to ensure informed decision-making and safeguard dental health. The concept of an ideal smile has led to various cosmetic dental procedures. Snap-on veneers offer a pain-free and affordable solution, but fake versions raise concerns about discomfort, unrealistic results, and oral health issues. User complaints emphasize the need for strict regulations and public awareness campaigns to ensure informed decisions.

用户对假牙贴面的看法:认知与体验。
目的:本试验性研究旨在评估有关使用假扣式贴面的知识和看法,并对使用过假扣式贴面的人的经验进行评估:本研究于 2021 年 10 月至 2022 年 1 月期间进行。通过社交媒体平台向沙特阿拉伯 18 岁以上的个人发放了一份调查问卷,评估他们的个人和社会人口信息以及对假牙贴面的看法和经历。统计分析包括描述性统计、双变量分析和多重逻辑回归:研究包括 466 名参与者,其中大多数是年轻人,性别分布几乎相等。研究强调,由于担心牙齿损伤和美观,人们普遍不愿意使用这些贴面。女性和年轻人的认知度较高,而地区差异则表明这些牙科设备的认知可能受到文化的影响。大多数使用者都感到不适,因此不推荐使用假的卡入式贴面:这项研究表明,尽管假牙贴面具有美学上的吸引力,但仍需谨慎对待。这突出表明,有必要制定严格的法规、开展提高公众意识的宣传活动、采取符合道德规范的牙科治疗方法,以确保人们在知情的情况下做出决定,并保障牙齿健康。理想微笑的概念催生了各种牙科美容手术。卡入式贴面提供了一种无痛且经济实惠的解决方案,但假贴面引起了人们对不适、不切实际的效果和口腔健康问题的担忧。用户的投诉强调了严格监管和公众宣传活动的必要性,以确保做出明智的决定。
