- W2730496670 abstract "Heinikainen M. Theoretical knowledge for treatment decisions among Finnish dentists. Department of Oral Public Health, Institute of Dentistry, University of Helsinki, Finland, 2004. 76 pp. ISBN 952-91-6831-4. This study determined theoretical knowledge for treatment decisions in restorative dentistry, periodontology, endodontology, and oral implantology by Finnish dentists. These decisions were compared to international treatment recommendations and guidelines which exist in periodontology, endodontology, and oral implantology. With stratified randomisation, 400 general practitioners (GPs) were selected among the members of the Finnish Dental Association. In total, eight clusters were formed according to main employment (public or private sector), gender, and age. In addition, 47 dental teachers (DTs) were included. Data were collected with a pre-tested questionnaire, in which treatment options related to clinical cases from four disciplines were presented in detail to allow respondents to choose the optimal treatment decisions from among the given alternatives. Based on their answers, a Treatment Decision Competency Score (TDCS) was developed to describe dentists’ competency in making optimal treatment decisions in three disciplines which have existing international recommendations and guidelines. The overall response rate for GPs was 78% and for DTs 74%. The variation in theoretical knowledge for treatment decisions in three dentist groups was largest in restorative dentistry and in oral implantology, with private dentists and DTs more frequently preferring indirect restorations and in most cases, implant therapy than did public dentists. A greater number of continuing education days was associated with dentists’ preference for indirect restorations in restorative treatment, with their preference for surgery in periodontology, and with their preference for implant therapy for patients with oral and medical contraindications in implantology. Finnish dentists’ theoretical knowledge for treatment decisions in periodontology, endodontology, and in implantology mostly agreed with international recommendations and guidelines. The TDCS revealed that male dentists in the private sector chose optimal treatment decisions more frequently than did other dentist groups. Development of national and international recommendations could help clinicians in diagnosing and decision-making to optimise dental treatment decisions." @default.
