Implication

Cross sectional study reveals gaps between knowledge and clinical practices of dentists concerning periodontitis, indicating a need for improved training.

Key Points

Most dentists demonstrated strong theoretical knowledge about periodontitis, yet many did not apply this knowledge in practice, leading to concerns about patient care.
The analysis involved 323 dentists, with a high response rate of 100%, and utilized a chi-square test to assess interrelations between knowledge and practices.
Participants were evaluated using a validated questionnaire including demographic and clinical experience data, as well as self-reported knowledge and practice-related questions.
Findings suggest that while dentists understand periodontitis, there's a significant gap in applying essential practices for enhancing patients' oral hygiene.
