Abstract: (572 Views)
Introduction: Definitive diagnosis of restoring worn surfaces and simultaneous control of the causes of these wears is considered a viable therapeutic option. This study was designed to evaluate awareness and function of general dentists about tooth wear in Yazd, 2022.
Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 153 dentists working in Yazd City, Iran were randomly selected and their knowledge and practice were assessed using a valid and reliable reasearcher-made questionnaire containing 13 knowledge questions and 13 practice questions. Data were entered into SPSS 16 software and analyzed using t-test, chi-square, exact fissure tests.
Results: 153 dentists with a mean age of 28.07 ± 3.69 were included in this study. The mean knowledge score was 8.5 ± 1.6. The mean practice score was 8.45 ± 1.6. Knowledge and practice score was not significantly associated with age, gender and work place (P> 0.05), but knowledge and practice was significantly higher in dentists with less than five years of work experience (P˂ 0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, the level of knowledge and practice of dentists in Yazd City was moderate. Therefore, it is necessary to develop educational programs to raise the level of knowledge and practice of dentists.
