Dentists' Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Regarding Minimally Invasive Dentistry a Cross Sectional Comparative Study Between Two Governorates in Egypt

Some of the published researches indicate that many practicing dentists have not used the MID concepts yet in their clinics. They still use the surgical model of treatment despite the paradigm shift to the medical model. Spreading the knowledge and education about MID concepts will help in preserving more teeth structures which will be reflected on the efforts to promote the oral health in the Egyptian community. Thus the purpose of thiscross sectional study is to evaluate dentists' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding MID in both Cairo and Benisuef governorates. The aim of this study is to gauge, assess and compare the knowledge, attitudes, and impact on clinical practices of dentists in Cairo and Beni-Suef governorates in Egypt regarding minimally invasive dentistry concepts.
