Qualitative Analysis Of Procedures In Conservative Dentistry: A QUESTIONNAIRE BASED SURVEY

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to analyse the quality of procedure in conservative dentistry using various material and method.

Objective:

• Analyse the current practices and trends in conservative dentistry among undergraduate students.


• Identify the most commonly used procedures and materials.


• Evaluate the integration of modern techniques and adherence to procedural standards.


• Recommend improvements in education and training for better clinical outcomes.

The present study was done among the undergraduate dental students of Gujarat to get an idea about the different approaches in procedure of conservative dentistry.

Materials and methods: It is a descriptive cross-sectional questionnaire based study, conducted in Gujarat. Around 213 undergraduate students responded to it.

Result and discussion:  Result shows that still majority of people use only probe to diagnose the carious lesion, GIC is being used maximum in pedodontic and hypersensitivity cases. Only 33% of dental students use composite and 53% use G.I.C based restoration for post endodontic, and 25% of dental students don't take post-operative radiographs.

Conclusion: We can conclude that while newer methods and technologies are being adopted in various dental colleges in Gujarat, there is still a significant presence of traditional techniques in clinical practice. This suggests a gradual transition towards more modern and conservative approaches to dental care, but also highlights the need for continued education and training in the latest methods and materials.
