Conceptual modelling of the factors affecting parental acceptance of silver diamine fluoride.
Observational study in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIt is important to delineate how different factors relate to parental acceptance of silver diamine fluoride (SDF).
aimTo develop and validate a conceptual model evaluating the factors affecting parental acceptance of SDF.
designData were collected from 414 preschool children and their parents, and a path model was created to analyse the associations between variables affecting parental acceptability of SDF. The model comprised endogenous and exogenous variables from both parents and children. The psychometric evaluation of a Turkish version of the Parental Perceptions of Silver Diamine Fluoride Dental Colour Changes Questionnaire was also conducted.
resultsParental and child oral health behaviours and the psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics had the greatest indirect effect on parental acceptability of SDF. There were significant associations between parental education level and socioeconomic status, parental socioeconomic status and oral health literacy, parental and children's oral health behaviours, children's oral health behaviours and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and the psychosocial effects of dental aesthetics and OHRQoL.
conclusionsThis study demonstrated a valid pathway of association between parental and child-related factors and parental acceptance of SDF. Furthermore, the Turkish version of the questionnaire was shown to be both reliable and valid for use.
