Knowledge, attitudes and practices of parents about dental health versus COVID-19: A bibliometric study
Keywords:
Knowledge, attitudes, practices, parents, dental health, pediatric dentistry, COVID-19.Abstract
Objective: To analyze the scientific production related to the knowledge, attitudes and practices on dental health of parents in relation to COVID-19.
Methods: A bibliometric analysis was carried out in the scientific database of Web of Science.
Results: Six documents published in high impact journals (Q1, Q2, Q3) were analyzed, identifying the countries, journals, institutions with the highest production, collaboration indexes and key word co-occurrences.
Conclusion: The scarce production registered in Web of Science on the subject of the study promotes opportunities for future research adapted to the context of different countries and cultures. In addition, the documents establish that most parents were unaware of the transmission by close contact with asymptomatic patients and the risk during dental practices, accepting practices of self-medication of prescribed medicines, attitudes that influenced the decision of whether or not to take their children for dental consultation.
