Survey of Dental Practitioners' Knowledge on Endodontic-Periodontal Lesions in Pakistan

380 dental practitioners in Pakistan participated in a cross-sectional survey assessing their diagnostic and therapeutic knowledge of endodontic-periodontal lesions. The dataset includes demographic variables like age, gender, professional experience, specialization, and continuing training. Results show practitioners aged 36–40 were significantly more likely to have good knowledge compared to those aged 25–30.

Use Cases

• Analyze the association between practitioner demographics and knowledge levels based on age, experience, and specialization variables.
• Model predictors of good clinical knowledge for endodontic-periodontal lesions using the logistic regression results.
• Compare diagnostic versus therapeutic knowledge gaps among dental practitioners as indicated by the study's conclusion.

Strengths

• Dataset includes responses from 380 registered dental practitioners, providing a substantive sample size.
• Survey captured multiple demographic and professional variables, including age, gender, specialization, and continuing training.
• Statistical analysis includes both unadjusted tests and multivariate logistic regression, as detailed in the description.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is specific to Pakistan, which may limit generalizability to other geographic contexts.
