The aim of this study is to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practices of pediatric dentists regarding oral health management of visually impaired children.
A combination of convenience sampling and snowball sampling was used to send an online Google form survey questionnaire to pediatric dentists all around the world. Four sections made up the questionnaire-the first asked for personal information, while the second, third, and fourth examined the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of pediatric dentists, respectively. The IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows, version 21.0, was used to analyze the data.
The total responses (511) were broken up according to the different continents. The Asian continent produced the most pediatric dentists (206, 40.3%). Most of the participants in the study were females (365, 71.4%), and the maximum was postgraduate students (203, 39.7%). Moreover, the participants were practicing in the private sector (445, 87.1%) and had an experience of 2-5 years (118, 23.1%). Good knowledge scores were significantly associated with work profile ( = 0.014*) years of practice, and associated countries had shown significant differences ( ≤ 0.001).
According to this study, the majority of the pediatric dentists included have just rudimentary knowledge of children who are visually impaired. Pediatric dentists are prevented from treating and properly managing visually impaired children as a result of deficient practices in the field of visually impaired children.

本研究旨在调查儿科牙医在视力障碍儿童口腔健康管理方面的知识、态度和实践情况。
采用便利抽样和滚雪球抽样相结合的方法，向世界各地的儿科牙医发送在线谷歌表单调查问卷。问卷由四个部分组成，第一部分询问个人信息，第二、第三和第四部分分别考察儿科牙医的知识、态度和实践情况。使用IBM社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）Windows版21.0对数据进行分析。
根据不同大洲对总回复（511份）进行了分类。亚洲大陆的儿科牙医数量最多（206名，占40.3%）。研究中的大多数参与者为女性（365名，占71.4%），最多的是研究生（203名，占39.7%）。此外，参与者在私营部门执业（445名，占87.1%），有2至5年的工作经验（118名，占23.1%）。良好的知识得分与工作类型（P = 0.014*）、执业年限显著相关，相关国家之间存在显著差异（P≤0.001）。
根据本研究，大多数纳入的儿科牙医对视力障碍儿童仅有基本的了解。由于在视力障碍儿童领域的实践不足，儿科牙医无法对视力障碍儿童进行治疗和妥善管理。
