About this study
Official title: Perceptions of Parents and Children on Posterior Restorations in Primary Molars: An Institutional Study
The research on "Perceptions of Parents and Children on Posterior Restorations in Primary Molars at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM)" gives valuable insights into what influences treatment choices in children's dental care. By understanding the worries and preferences of both parents and children, the study helps dentists better meet their needs, making the experience more comfortable. The findings enhance communication, promote informed decision-making, and ultimately improve patient satisfaction in children's dental care. For parents and children, participating in this research provides a clearer understanding of treatment options, ensures their preferences are considered and creates a more positive dental experience.
This research also helps improve paediatric dentistry overall, promoting family-centered care and guiding future dental practices and policies. The information gathered from this research will benefit individuals, researchers, institutions, and the community by advancing knowledge and informing future practices.
