Among these, amalgam restorations have been a foundational component of dental curricula for decades due to their durability, cost-effectiveness, and historical prominence in restorative dentistry. However, in recent years, the use of amalgam has become a subject of debate due to environmental concerns related to mercury content, alongside the increasing popularity of composite materials.\n\nTo our knowledge no current data is available regarding teaching amalgam in pediatric dentistry in Egyptian dental universities. So, the aim of this study is to assess the pediatric dentistry educator's perception about teaching and using dental amalgam as restoration for primary teeth. This could help in making improvements to the dental education system ensuring that future dentists are equipped to offer patients the best treatment options based on individual needs, improving overall oral health outcomes."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '20 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Pediatric dentistry educators in Egyptian universities with at least one year experience.', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Participants included will be Pediatric dentistry educators in Egyptian universities with at least one year experience.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Pediatric dentistry educators who are not willing to participate or to complete the questionnaire will be excluded also administrative and non-teaching staff'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT06995859', 'briefTitle': 'Amalgam Restorations Teaching in Pediatric Dentistry', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Cairo University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Amalgam Restorations Teaching in Pediatric Dentistry in Egyptian Universities: A Cross-sectional Study', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'dental education of amalgam'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'Pediatric dentistry educators in Egyptian universities'}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '+200', 'city': 'Cairo', 'country': 'Egypt', 'facility': 'Faculty of dentistry Cairo university', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 30.06263, 'lon': 31.24967}}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'infoTypes': ['STUDY_PROTOCOL'], 'ipdSharing': 'YES'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Cairo University', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'associate professor of pediatric dentistry', 'investigatorFullName': 'Yasmin Mohamed Yousry', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'Cairo University'}}}}
