Objective: To correlate self-perceived knowledge with attitudes towards the use of silver diamine fluoride in pediatric dentists in Peru. Materials and methods: An observational, analytical and cross-sectional study was carried out. A sample of 278 pediatric dentists was evaluated through a validated self-reported questionnaire to collect information on self-perceived knowledge and attitudes toward the use of silver diamine fluoride using a Likert scale. The questionnaire includes questions about general characteristics, frequency, education, information and possible barriers about the FDP. Likewise, for the bivariate analysis, Spearman's correlation coefficient was used (p< 0.05). Results: 59.35% indicate having used silver diamine fluoride many times, while 13.67% never used the material. Moderate correlations were recorded between self-perceived knowledge of cavitated lesions with patient-related indications about the use of the FDP, between self-perceived knowledge of non-cavitated lesions with patient-related indications about the use of the FDP, and considerations for treatment outside the clinic. aesthetic zone. Likewise, it is between the use of the FDP before restorative treatment with considerations for treatment outside the esthetic zone. Conclusion: There is a moderate correlation between self-perceived knowledge with attitudes towards the use of the FDP in pediatric dentists in Peru. However, self-perceived knowledge must be reinforced to promote the use of this material, especially in the current context.
