Perception of Children With Visible Untreated and Treated Caries

NCT02899273 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 38

Last updated 2019-04-11

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In Germany about 5 to 20% of children suffer from early childhood caries (ECC). Preceding results of eye-tracking-studies on the perception of patients with unilateral cleft and patients with severe orthognathic malocclusion let us assume that caries and missing teeth might influence the observer's focus. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that the faces of patients with ECC and patients with signs of dental treatment (crown, gap etc.) are contemplated differently from and assessed more negatively than healthy patients. Particular attention should be paid to potential differences between the findings of the two observer-groups (medical laypersons/ dental students).
