OBJECTIVE
To assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of pediatricians regarding pediatric liquid medicaments (PLMs) and its effect on dental health.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A convenience sample of 103 pediatricians was asked to answer a questionnaire.
RESULTS
A total number of 87 pediatricians completed the questionnaires. They considered age and body weight of the child (58%), cost of the medicine (40%), and pharmaceutical company (37%) to be relevant while prescribing. Eighty-eight percent of pediatricians knew that the PLM was sweet in nature. Sixty-seven percent of pediatricians stated that pH of PLM is responsible for deleterious effect on teeth. Seventy-two percent of pediatricians were aware of hidden sugars present in PLM. Only 48% of pediatricians were aware of availability of sugar-free medicine. Seventy percent of pediatricians were of the opinion that sugar-free medicine is not as sweet as sugar-containing medicines and is more expensive (65%).
CONCLUSION
Knowledge, attitude, and practice of pediatricians regarding PLMs and its effect on dental health were not satisfactory.
目的
评估儿科医生对儿科液体药物（PLM）的知识、态度和实践，以及其对牙齿健康的影响。
材料与方法
选取103名儿科医生作为便利样本，要求他们回答一份问卷。
结果
共有87名儿科医生完成了问卷。他们认为在开药时，儿童的年龄和体重（58%）、药品成本（40%）和制药公司（37%）是相关因素。88%的儿科医生知道PLM本质上是甜的。67%的儿科医生表示PLM的pH值对牙齿有有害影响。72%的儿科医生知道PLM中存在隐藏糖分。只有48%的儿科医生知道有无糖药物。70%的儿科医生认为无糖药物不如含糖药物甜，且更昂贵（65%）。
结论
儿科医生对PLM及其对牙齿健康影响的知识、态度和实践并不令人满意。
