      Dental Personnel: A Systematic Review.

AB  - Apart from the major drawback of black staining once lesion is arrested, few 
      studies have indicated that dental personnel's perception and attitude towards 
      silver diamine fluoride (SDF) influences its usage. This report aims to provide a 
      systematic review presenting dental personnel's knowledge, attitudes, and 
      perceptions, (KAPs) regarding SDF. A search of multiple electronic literature 
      databases and a manual search were performed. The review was reported according 
      to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 
      statement. A comprehensive search yielded 719 publications and 14 cross-sectional 
      studies matching the inclusion criteria. Awareness of SDF among respondents 
      ranged from 29.6% to 87.8%, whereas awareness of its use in dentistry ranged from 
      14.4% to 94.5%. Regarding attitude towards SDF, the mean score ranged from 3.39 
      to 14.35. An increase in knowledge of and attitude towards SDF is significantly 
      associated with the usage of SDF and may increase the usage of SDF. This review 
      provides vital information on dental personnel's KAPs regarding SDF. It is 
      anticipated that the adaptation of SDF usage will be more widespread in the 
      future, especially among children. Findings from the review may assist 
      intervention programs to change misperceptions and to enhance awareness regarding 
      SDF among dental personnel.
