Capability of dental practitioners to identify condylar changes on orthopantomograms: a multicenter cross-sectional study in Pakistan

The findings of the study conclude that in certain cases, Pakistani general dentists performed better in terms of correctly identifying OPGs. However, in other cases specialists were equally proficient in recognizing various condylar alterations. This study identified significant gaps in knowledge in the correct identification of condylar changes among dental practitioners both at specialists and general dentist's level. These results suggest us that additional training might be needed equally, at regular intervals for both general and specialist dentists.

Abstract

The findings of the study conclude that in certain cases, Pakistani general dentists performed better in terms of correctly identifying OPGs. However, in other cases specialists were equally proficient in recognizing various condylar alterations. This study identified significant gaps in knowledge in the correct identification of condylar changes among dental practitioners both at specialists and general dentist's level. These results suggest us that additional training might be needed equally, at regular intervals for both general and specialist dentists.
