To assess parental preferences for dental caries treatment and its association with socio-demographic conditions and beliefs about the primary dentition.Study design: Cross-sectional study. This study was conducted among 512 parents of 2- to 5-year-old children in the State of Tocantins, in the North Region of Brazil. A self-administered questionnaire on preferences for dental caries treatment, socio-demographic conditions and beliefs about the primary dentition was responded by parents considering two hypothetical clinical scenarios: if their child had one or more asymptomatic caries lesions (without pain), one or more symptomatic caries lesions (toothache). Poisson regression models fitted the association between explanatory variables and the preference to conservative interventions.It can be concluded that parental preferences for dental caries treatment in preschool children depend on mother's age and education level, as well as on beliefs about the primary dentition. |
