Use of Silver Diamine Fluoride in General Dentistry |
STUDY TITLE: The Use of Silver Diamine Fluoride in General Dentistry
VCU INVESTIGATOR: [Jessica Eisenberg, DDS]
You are invited to participate in a research study to determine the utilization and current knowledge of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) in general dentistry. Your participation is voluntary.
In this study, you will be asked to take a 10- minute survey and answer questions about silver diamine fluoride. The survey is modified from an existing study instrument used to measure SDF education, knowledge, attitudes, and professional behavior in pediatric dentists. These questions will include questions about demographics and silver diamine fluoride. This will measure the practitioner's previous education, familiarity of silver diamine fluoride, and factors that affect their decision. Your name will not be linked to your response in any way.
After completion of the survey, an information sheet about SDF and an example of a SDF consent form can be downloaded.
If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints about this study now or in the future, please contact Jessica Eisenberg at (443)-845-3577, or eisenbergjn@vcu.edu.
