This study aimed to assess parent\u2019s emotional state and attitudes towards discoloration in primary and permanent teeth. A two-part questionnaire was designed, consisting of questions about demographic data and simulated visuals of different primary and permanent teeth discoloration conditions. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to determine the emotional state, while parents\u2019 attitudes towards dental consultation for each simulated visual were determined using statements such as \u201cAbsolutely yes\u201d\u037e \u201cYes\u201d\u037e \u201cI don\u2019t have an idea\u201d\u037e \u201cNo\u201d\u037e \u201cAbsolutely no\u201d. The simulated visuals included cases of \u201ccaries with cavitation\u201d, \u201cyellow-brown hypomineralized area\u201d, \u201cwhite hypomineralized area\u201d and \u201cchromogenic bacteria\u201d. The questionnaire was distributed to 300 parents through online communication channels. Categorical variables were analyzed using Pearson chi-square, with statistical significance set as p &lt; 0.05. A total of 230 parents completed the questionnaire. The highest VAS scores and the highest percentage of \u201cAbsolutely yes\u201d responses were observed for \u201ccaries with cavitation\u201d in both primary (77.8%, 81.7%) and permanent (60.4%, 94.3%) teeth. Additionally, statistically significant differences were found in the VAS scores for chromogenic bacteria (p = 0.04), caries with cavitation (p = 0.005), white hypomineralized area (p = 0.01) and yellow-brown hypomineralized area (p = 0.02). Comparatively, parental preferences showed statistically significant differences for chromogenic bacteria (p = 0.01), caries with cavitation (p = 0.01), yellow-brown hypomineralized area (p = 0.01) and white hypomineralized area (p = 0.004). Parents displayed stronger emotional responses towards \u201ccaries with cavitation\u201d compared to hypomineralization and chromogenic bacteria discolorations and expressed a positive attitude towards seeking dental consultation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.22514\/jocpd.2023.066","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,4]],"date-time":"2023-09-04T07:38:03Z","timestamp":1693813083000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Do hypomineralized teeth affect parents' emotional states and attitudes more than other discoloration conditions?"],"prefix":"10.22514","member":"26027","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"container-title":["Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,4]],"date-time":"2023-09-04T07:38:04Z","timestamp":1693813084000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.jocpd.com\/articles\/10.22514\/jocpd.2023.066"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.22514\/jocpd.2023.066","relation":{},"ISSN":["1557-5268","1053-4628"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1557-5268","type":"electronic"},{"value":"1053-4628","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023]]}}}
