Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the professional aspects and clinical and radiographic evidence that influences the decision for the extraction of teeth among periodontologists and general dentists. Material and methods: The sample consisted of 150 (n=106 females and 44 males) dentists (n=103 general dentists and 47 periodontologists) that responded to a questionnaire designed to retrieve cross-sectional information related mainly to their level of training and time of experience in practice, as well as their personal decision for managing four patients with periodontal disease. Bivariate analyses were performed to test the association between the clinical decisions and the professional information collected from the dentists. Results: In specific cases, periodontologists decided to maintain more teeth than general dentists (p Key words Clinical Decision-making; Periodontics; Radiology; Tooth Extraction Ciljevi: Zeljelo se istraziti profesionalne aspekte te klinicke i rendgenske pokazatelje koji utjecu na odluku parodontologa i opcih stomatologa o vadenju zuba.
