To identify current practices and the preferred caries-related treatment decisions and restorative modalities of primary teeth among pediatric dental practitioners in Saudi Arabia.
This was a web-based cross-sectional survey conducted among licensed pediatric dental practitioners in Saudi Arabia. Following the retrieval of the email addresses from the Saudi Dental Council, an email explaining the purpose of the study and a link to SurveyMonkey electronic survey consisting of 23 questions was sent to all the members registered under the pediatric dentistry practitioners, starting in September till December 2013. The data obtained was analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi square with and without tabulation processes. The level of significance was set at < 0.05.
A total of 108 [54 (50%) male and 54 (50%) female] pediatric dental practitioners responded to the survey out of 308 targeted individuals for an overall response rate of 35.1%. About 65% of the respondents reported that they have never considered pre-veneered or Zirconia crowns as a restorative option for carious vital anterior primary teeth. About 40% reported doing pulpectomy and restored with composite strip crowns at all times. About 86% of the respondents reported doing pulpotomy and stainless steel crown for restoring carious vital posterior primary teeth whereas 73.8% reported restoring with composite resin. However, 83.1% of the respondents reported that they never used pre-veneered or Zirconia crowns after pulpotomy for restoring carious vital posterior primary teeth. A significantly higher number of male participants reported that they used esthetic pediatric crowns in their practice compared to female participants ( < 0.001).
The prevalence of use of composite resin to restore primary teeth was higher compared to glass ionomer cements and amalgam whereas a limited use of esthetic pediatric crowns was found among the sample surveyed. Esthetic pediatric crowns were more utilized by male compared to female participants.
确定沙特阿拉伯儿科牙科从业者目前针对乳牙的龋齿相关治疗决策及修复方式的做法和偏好。
这是一项针对沙特阿拉伯有执照的儿科牙科从业者开展的基于网络的横断面调查。从沙特牙科委员会获取电子邮件地址后，于2013年9月至12月向所有注册的儿科牙科从业者成员发送了一封解释研究目的的电子邮件以及一个指向包含23个问题的SurveyMonkey电子调查问卷的链接。使用描述性统计以及有无列表过程的卡方检验对获得的数据进行分析。显著性水平设定为<0.05。
在308名目标个体中，共有108名儿科牙科从业者（54名男性，占50%；54名女性，占50%）回复了调查，总体回复率为35.1%。约65%的受访者表示，他们从未将预贴面或氧化锆冠作为龋坏有活力的前乳牙的修复选择。约40%的受访者表示始终进行牙髓摘除术并用复合带环冠修复。约86%的受访者表示对龋坏有活力的后乳牙进行牙髓切断术并用不锈钢冠修复，而73.8%的受访者表示用复合树脂修复。然而，83.1%的受访者表示他们在牙髓切断术后从未使用预贴面或氧化锆冠修复龋坏有活力的后乳牙。与女性参与者相比，有显著更多的男性参与者表示他们在临床实践中使用了美观的儿童冠（<0.001）。
与玻璃离子粘固剂和汞合金相比，使用复合树脂修复乳牙的比例更高，而在所调查的样本中发现美观儿童冠的使用有限。与女性参与者相比，男性更多地使用美观儿童冠。
