| Popis: | OBJECTIVES: To determine whether: the evidence-practice gap (EPG) in minimal intervention dentistry (MID) can be improved by a tailored web-based intervention, and specific clinical situations might impede implementing MID. METHODS: We conducted a before-after intervention study and a qualitative study. Two web-based questionnaire surveys were conducted among 197 Japanese dentists. In the first questionnaire, a baseline EPG was measured using six questionnaire items. Subsequently, feedback material about the EPG was electronically prepared, including results of the first questionnaire, international comparisons with a previous study from the US, and a summary of recent evidence on MID. In the second questionnaire, the EPG was re-measured after participants read the material. The primary outcome was mean overall concordance between published evidence and the dentist’s clinical practice for all six questions. During the second questionnaire, we performed qualitative content analysis using free-text responses to a question about difficult situations encountered when conducting MID. RESULTS: Regarding before and after comparisons of concordance between the first and second questionnaires, mean overall concordance improved significantly, from 66% to 89% (p |
