Perspectives on managing patients with Down’s syndrome among orthodontists in Saudi Arabia: A vignette and a COM-B analysis study
This study found that orthodontists in Saudi Arabia showed low confidence levels to manage Down's syndrome patients with moderate and severe challenging behavior. Despite this, the likelihood of increasing their confidence levels and attitude regarding the management of patients with Down's syndrome increased by increasing their capability, opportunity, motivation, and knowledge in this field.
