Abstract

Purpose: This randomized controlled clinical trial evaluated the influence of guardians' prior knowledge about silver diamine fluoride (SDF), through the application of an instructional video, on their acceptance and perception of its use in children.

Methods: The children's guardians responded to a questionnaire containing questions about the use of SDF. They were randomized into groups: test, received prior information about SDF through a video; control, did not receive prior information. As answer options (yes/maybe/no) for each question, scores were assigned (0-2). The lower the total score (0-24), the better the acceptance and perception. X² and Mann-Whitney tests were used for comparisons between groups.

Results: Eighty-two participants were included (test, n = 42; control, n = 40). The total score was 6.98 (± 4.33) in the test group and 8.45 (± 4.87) in the control (p = 0.683). Considering the use of SDF in anterior teeth, the test group showed better acceptance (p = 0.027).

Conclusion: The prior knowledge about the SDF did not, generally, influence the acceptance and perception of the guardians. However, regarding anterior teeth, there was better acceptance and perception by those who received the video about SDF.

关于氟化银二胺的知识对巴西儿童监护人接受和认知的影响：一项随机对照临床试验。

目的：本随机对照临床试验通过应用教学视频，评估监护人对氟化二胺银（SDF）的先验知识对其在儿童中使用的接受和认知的影响。方法：儿童的监护人填写一份包含SDF使用情况的问卷。他们被随机分为两组：测试组，通过视频接收关于SDF的先验信息；对照组，没有收到事先的信息。作为每个问题的答案选项（是/可能/否），给出分数（0-2）。总分（0-24分）越低，接受度和认知度越高。组间比较采用X2检验和Mann-Whitney检验。结果：共纳入82例受试者(test, n = 42；对照组，n = 40)。试验组总分为6.98（±4.33）分，对照组总分为8.45（±4.87）分（p = 0.683）。考虑到SDF在前牙的使用，试验组接受度更高（p = 0.027）。结论：一般情况下，对自保的先验知识不影响监护人对自保的接受和认知。而对于前牙，接受视频的人对SDF的接受度和认知度更高。

期刊介绍： The aim and scope of European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) is to promote research in all aspects of dentistry for children, including interceptive orthodontics and studies on children and young adults with special needs. The EAPD focuses on the publication and critical evaluation of clinical and basic science research related to children. The EAPD will consider clinical case series reports, followed by the relevant literature review, only where there are new and important findings of interest to Paediatric Dentistry and where details of techniques or treatment carried out and the success of such approaches are given.
