Survey Data on Radiographic Diagnostic Competence for Dental Prostheses

161 valid responses from a cross-sectional survey of dental students, interns, and practitioners assessed diagnostic accuracy for marginal discrepancies in fixed dental prostheses. Practitioners achieved significantly higher diagnostic accuracy (53.7%) and confidence than less experienced groups. The dataset, created by Tushar Bhagat and last updated in May 2026, includes demographic data, perception items, and image-based diagnostic tasks.

Use Cases

• Compare diagnostic accuracy across experience levels based on survey results.
• Analyze self-perceived confidence in radiographic interpretation based on questionnaire items.
• Identify specific marginal discrepancy types (e.g., open, contour) that are challenging to diagnose based on the described results.

Strengths

• 161 valid survey responses provide a basis for statistical comparison.
• Diagnostic tasks were based on standardized radiographs verified by three expert examiners.
• The survey instrument was designed in accordance with the CROSS checklist for methodological rigor.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small at 47.9 KB, indicating limited scope.
