Parental perception of the application of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) for dental caries treatment among Iraqi school children: a cross-sectional study
Parents showed high acceptance of SDF treatment, particularly for posterior teeth, although concerns about aesthetics affected their views of anterior teeth. Improving parents' awareness and addressing their apprehensions could increase the adoption of this evidence-based caries management approach for children.
