ABSTRACT

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the attitude of parents and their children to the use of gloves by dentists in the dental clinic. 314 parents and their children attending pediatric dental clinic at King Hussein Medical Center and Prince Ali Hospital were asked to participate in the study. Children aged between 11-15 years old participated. A questionnaire was used in the research. The majority of the children and their patients [94.9% and 96.2% respectively] stated that the wearing of gloves was important during dental treatment. Most of the participants stated the gloves are worn for the protection of dentist and the patient [94.9% and 90.8% respectively]. 94.4% of children and patients did not like to attend a dentist who did not wear gloves. Most of children 92.3% and parents 94.9% thought that gloves should be changed after dental treatment of each patient. The majority of participants in the present study indicated that gloves should be worn by dental practitioners while treating their patients and they will not bring their children to a dentist who does not show adequate infection control procedures. The study showed no significant difference in response between children and their parents
