Résumé
Parental perceptions of staining due to silver diamine fluoride (SDF) could affect its utilization in paediatric dentistry. This study represents the second part of a wider project focused on SDF esthetic acceptability among Italian parents. To evaluate parental acceptance of SDF staining in Italy and to assess whether the parent's level of acceptance depends on location, child's behavior, or demographic background. A cross-sectional study was conducted among Italian parents of children attending two university dental clinics. We used a validated Italian version of the questionnaire "Parental Perceptions of Silver Diamine Fluoride Dental Color Changes." Two hundred and thirty-four parents took part in the survey. Of parents, 65.4% considered the staining on posterior teeth esthetically "acceptable" or "somewhat acceptable," and 19.3% on anterior teeth (p = .001). In a scenario of positive cooperation, 48.5% of parents were "somewhat likely" or "very likely" to choose SDF to treat posterior teeth, and 17.6% on anterior teeth (p = .001). Level of acceptance increased as the difficulty the child would experience to receive conventional treatment increased. Staining on posterior teeth is more acceptable to parents than staining on anterior teeth. Level of acceptance on anterior teeth increases when sedation or general anesthesia is the alternative for the child.

A cross-sectional study was conducted among Italian parents of children attending two university dental clinics. We used a validated Italian version of the questionnaire "Parental Perceptions of Silver Diamine Fluoride Dental Color Changes."
RESULTS
RESULTS
Two hundred and thirty-four parents took part in the survey. Of parents, 65.4% considered the staining on posterior teeth esthetically "acceptable" or "somewhat acceptable," and 19.3% on anterior teeth (p = .001). In a scenario of positive cooperation, 48.5% of parents were "somewhat likely" or "very likely" to choose SDF to treat posterior teeth, and 17.6% on anterior teeth (p = .001). Level of acceptance increased as the difficulty the child would experience to receive conventional treatment increased.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
Staining on posterior teeth is more acceptable to parents than staining on anterior teeth. Level of acceptance on anterior teeth increases when sedation or general anesthesia is the alternative for the child.
