Background: This cross-sectional study investigates the awareness and utilization of preventive measures, specifically fluoride varnish and dental sealants, among pediatric dental practitioners. Given the importance of preventive care in pediatric dentistry, understanding practitioner practices is essential for optimizing oral health outcomes in children. Methods: Study Design: Cross-sectional. Participants: 200 pediatric dental practitioners. Data Collection: A structured questionnaire assessing awareness, utilization patterns, and factors influencing the incorporation of fluoride varnish and dental sealants. Demographic information was also collected. Results: Demographic analysis revealed a diverse sample in terms of age, gender, and years of practice. The majority of practitioners demonstrated high awareness of fluoride varnish (60.0%) and dental sealants (55.0%). However, variations in utilization patterns were observed, with 42.5% and 37.5% routinely applying fluoride varnish and dental sealants, respectively. Conclusion: This research provides valuable insights into the awareness and utilization of preventive measures in pediatric dental practices. Addressing variations in practices could enhance the consistency and effectiveness of preventive care. Future research should focus on developing targeted interventions and exploring specific challenges faced by practitioners.
