The present study was carried out to find out the awareness and attitude of parents of patients, toward the pulpal treatment of primary teeth, visiting a dental hospital in a Bangalore suburban area.
A total of 685 parents of the child patients requiring pulp treatment procedures visiting the dental OPD over a period of 18 months were personally interviewed with a questionnaire and their responses were immediately computed.
Urban populations seeking dental treatment are more in number as compared to the rural population. Pain and associated feature was the most common reason among both urban (71.92%) and rural (93.3%) patients visiting a dental office.
It is important to create more awareness among the populace of our country about the significance of maintaining a healthy primary dentition and attendant sequalae if not done so.
本研究旨在了解班加罗尔郊区一家牙科医院中,患者家长对乳牙牙髓治疗的认知和态度。
在18个月的时间里,对总共685名到牙科门诊寻求牙髓治疗的患儿家长进行了问卷调查,并当场统计他们的回答。
与农村人口相比,寻求牙科治疗的城市人口更多。疼痛及相关症状是城市患者(71.92%)和农村患者(93.3%)前往牙科诊所就诊的最常见原因。
在我国民众中提高对保持乳牙健康重要性的认识以及不这样做会带来的后果,这一点很重要。
