Saddam Hussain

The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of knowledge general dentists working in private dental offices have regarding root canal therapy. It was distributed to 400 general dentists who answered the surveys. To analyse the responses to the questions, simple summary statistics were employed. A total of 252 medical professionals or 63% replied. Most of the responses (59%) and (32%) were from Egyptians and Syrians. 91 percent of responders admitted to performing root canals on patients. Rubber dams were employed to keep patients isolated by just seven clinicians (3%) who performed root canals.
