Journal Title: Al Ameen Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: The recent breakthrough in implementation of regenerative endodontics is regarded unparalleled for coming years, for which knowledge and skills are to be enhanced at various level of education. There is a need to understand the knowledge, attitude and belief with respect to this subject. In India, use of regenerative dentistry is at its initial stages and there is very less awareness and knowledge regarding its use and implementation. Objective: This study was conducted to assess the knowledge, attitude and belief of postgraduate residents towards the regenerative endodontics Methods: Online questionnaire-based study among dental professionals undergoing postgraduate training in various colleges in India. Results: Respondents considered lack of sufficient knowledge as main barrier in the field of regenerative procedure (47.1%), even though term regenerative endodontics was commonly known. About (43%) of respondents had knowledge about the type of dental stem cells other than dental organ. Most of the respondents (79.6%) have not attended any workshop/conference or continuing dental education program related to regenerative endodontic procedures Conclusion: There is a positive attitude towards regenerative procedures and its application, although the knowledge about this method is limited. The interest seems greater among endodontists (20%) followed by prosthodontist (15%), oral surgeons (13.3) pedodontist (12.4) and periodontists (11.4%). Clinical significance: regenerative endodontics provides a more conservative approach, that is biologically based so the need for the study.
