Clinical Practice and Diagnostic Confidence Regarding Pediatric Oral Mucosal Lesions Among Dentists, Pediatricians, and General Practitioners: A Cross-Sectional Study
Dentists demonstrated higher diagnostic confidence in pediatric oral mucosal lesions than pediatricians and family/general practitioners, who more often relied on referral. These findings support the value of targeted education and strengthened interdisciplinary collaboration in primary pediatric healthcare.
