The design was informed by the literature, interviews with young people, and a concurrent adult-focused DCE. A statistically optimal d-efficient design generated 18 choice tasks across two blocks. Each respondent answered 1 block of 9 tasks. Choice tasks varied across four characteristics: treatment type, care provider, management decision-maker, and number of future visits avoided. An opt-out (no treatment) was included. Conditional (fixed effects) logit models were used for data analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In total, 122 young people completed the DCE. Restoring a cFPM was preferred to having a partial gap, prosthetic replacement with a bridge, orthodontic closure, or a full-unit gap. Preferences ranged from no preference to a preference for spontaneous closure compared to a restoration (odds ratio = 1.40; 95% confidence interval, 0.98\u20131.99;\n                      <jats:underline>P<\/jats:underline>\n                      = 0.063). Young people had no preference for the health professional providing their care (general dentist, dentist with enhanced skills, or a specialist pediatric dentist). Participants did not have a clear preference for whether treatment decisions were made by the dentist alone, the patient alone, or on a shared decision-making basis between patient, parent, and dentist.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Young people wished to manage cFPMs and expressed preferences for restorations rather than any other management, resulting in a gap, and for orthodontic or prosthetic closure.
