Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Two potential interventions are delivered as written instructions to the participants. Dentists are asked to indicate their treatment preference for two given clinical scenarios (consisting of case vignettes, clinical photos, and radiographs) in two questionnaires prior (baseline data) and after receiving the intervention. Based on these data, the simulated behavior change (i.e. to repair or not to repair) will be assessed.

PARALLEL

Either of two potential interventions is delivered as written instruction to the participants

Primary Study Purpose

Blinding Strategy

NONE

Intervention will be delivered in a separate, sealed envelope. Thereby, participants are blinded for the intervention when baseline data will be gathered (i.e. by filling out the first questionnaire).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention "Guideline"

Participants are given written information (a hypothetical new guideline).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
