dc.description.abstractObjective: It is predicted that droplet-transmitted diseases will cause pandemics in the future, as they had in the past. In order to control possible pandemics, people need to be aware of diseases that can be transmitted through droplets. For these reasons, this questionnaire study aimed to assess parents’ general knowledge and attitudes of pediatric patients who visited the pediatric dental clinic during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: In this study, the questionnaire was applied to 450 parents of children who visited the pediatric dental clinic for routine pediatric dental examination. The data analysis of our study was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 23.0 software program (SPSS Inc.; Chicago, IL, USA). Percentages and frequencies of responses to questions were obtained. Results: Most parents were found to have adequate knowledge about the transmission routes and symptoms of COVID-19 infection. 95.1% of parents stated that dentists should use protective equipment (mask, glasses, protective clothing) during aerosol procedures. About 98.8% of parents agreed that parents and patients in dental clinics should wear their masks to cover the nose and mouth during a COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: We think that participants were aware of masks, social distancing during the pan-demic, and the symptoms and transmission routes of COVID-19 infection. © 2023, AVES. All rights reserved.
