The aim of this pilot study was to assess the knowledge and perceptions surrounding the use of fake snap-on veneers, as well as to evaluate the experiences of individuals who have used them.
This study was conducted between October 2021 and January 2022. A questionnaire was distributed through social media platforms to individuals aged >18 years in Saudi Arabia, which assessed their personal and sociodemographic information and perceptions and experiences with fake snap-on veneers. The statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses, and multiple logistic regressions.
The study included 466 participants, with the majority being young adults, with an almost equal sex distribution. The study highlighted a general reluctance to use these veneers because of concerns about dental damage and esthetics. Women and younger individuals showed higher awareness, and regional variations indicated potential cultural influences on the perception of these dental devices. Most users experienced discomfort and did not recommend the fake snap-on veneers.
This study sheds light on a cautious approach toward fake snap-on veneers, despite their esthetic appeal. This underscores the need for strict regulations, public awareness campaigns, and ethical dental practices to ensure informed decision-making and safeguard dental health. The concept of an ideal smile has led to various cosmetic dental procedures. Snap-on veneers offer a pain-free and affordable solution, but fake versions raise concerns about discomfort, unrealistic results, and oral health issues. User complaints emphasize the need for strict regulations and public awareness campaigns to ensure informed decisions.
本试点研究的目的是评估围绕使用假贴面的知识和认知，以及评估使用过假贴面的个人的经历。
本研究于2021年10月至2022年1月进行。通过社交媒体平台向沙特阿拉伯年龄大于18岁的个人发放问卷，该问卷评估了他们的个人信息、社会人口统计学信息以及对假贴面的认知和经历。统计分析包括描述性统计、双变量分析和多元逻辑回归。
该研究纳入了466名参与者，大多数为年轻人，性别分布几乎相等。该研究强调，由于担心牙齿损伤和美观问题，人们普遍不愿意使用这些贴面。女性和年轻人表现出更高的认知度，地区差异表明文化因素可能会影响对这些牙齿修复装置的认知。大多数使用者都感到不适，不推荐使用假贴面。
本研究揭示了尽管假贴面具有美观吸引力，但人们对其持谨慎态度。这凸显了制定严格法规、开展公众宣传活动以及遵循符合道德规范的牙科诊疗操作的必要性，以确保人们能够做出明智的决策并保护牙齿健康。理想笑容的概念催生了各种牙齿美容手术。贴面提供了一种无痛且经济实惠的解决方案，但假贴面引发了人们对不适、效果不逼真以及口腔健康问题的担忧。使用者的投诉强调了制定严格法规和开展公众宣传活动以确保做出明智决策的必要性。
