Knowledge, attitudes, and practices among Syrian dentists towards minimal invasive dentistry and chemomechanical caries removal: a cross-sectional study

This research provides important perspectives on how dental professionals are adopting MID and CMCR. Although practitioners received MID training during their university studies, only a small percentage expressed complete confidence in their abilities, indicating that dental training programs could be enhanced. It was also identified a strong consensus regarding the advantages of fluoride and preventive measures. However, views varied concerning specific diagnostic and treatment techniques, particularly ART and pit and fissure sealants in permanent teeth.
