Fissure sealant therapy (FST) is an effective preventive measure, yet parental acceptance remains low.

A total number of 449 parents to children aged 6\u201312 years were included. A multi\u2010stage cluster sampling method was used.

There was also a significant and positive correlation between the constructs of perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, self\u2010efficacy, and cues to action with FST behavior (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
