Interrater agreement on dental caries\u2010 and pulp diagnoses and interventions were measured with Cohen's and Light's <jats:italic>\u03ba<\/jats:italic>. The data collection period was September 28 to November 5, 2021.

The agreement with the gold standard for caries was moderate. No agreement was found for dental pulp diagnosis, and for interventions the agreement was weak. No pattern in agreement with the gold standard was seen in relation to case difficulty level. The majority reported knowing of and using stepwise excavation, in conflict with findings that less than half chose stepwise excavation in cases, where considered appropriate. One in four (25%) reported to be unfamiliar with sealing, and half (50%) use sealing regularly. Better access to continuing education and for universities to offer continuing education as alternatives to one\u2010sided\u00a0private market were requested.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Some patients may receive too radical treatment despite available less invasive evidence\u2010based effective treatments. Dentists acknowledge the importance of continuing education. Easier access and perhaps more incentives for seeking out high\u2010quality continuing education from trustworthy sources are needed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hsr2.2278","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,6]],"date-time":"2024-09-06T04:35:04Z","timestamp":1725597304000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Inconsistent decision making in dental caries diagnosis and treatment: A case\u2010based questionnaire survey"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Sofie","family":"Henneberg","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Public Employed Dentist Kobenhavn Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julie","family":"Henriksen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Private and Public Employed Dentist Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lasse","family":"Christensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Statistical Consultant, cand.act.
