Impact of knowledge of the 2017 classification for periodontal and peri-implant diseases on diagnostic accuracy among dental students
This study found no significant impact of dental students' knowledge of the 2017 periodontal classification system on diagnostic accuracy. Challenges such as discrepancies between case complexity and clinical experience and teaching inconsistencies underscore the need for enhanced clinical simulations, case-based learning, and targeted educational training to improve diagnostic accuracy and clinical competence.
