Does Postgraduate Education Deepen Temporomandibular Disorders Insights for Dental Professionals?

Abstract

Conclusions: Postgraduate education deepened dental professionals’ understanding of TMDs. Students improved more in the domains of “diagnosis” and “treatment and prognosis,” whereas practicing dentists enhanced more in the “etiology” domain. To further advance postgraduate education, there is a need for more systematic course designs for TMDs, emphasizing the enhancement of knowledge related to examination methods and treatment options.
