The questionnaire comprised 29 items grouped into demographics (7 items), knowledge (8 items), and attitude\/awareness (14 items). Reliability was tested by the test\u2010retest method, and content validity was confirmed through expert review. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 23.0 with Chi\u2010square, Mann\u2013Whitney U, and Kruskal\u2013Wallis tests (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.05).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Dentists reported limited knowledge and awareness regarding MG.

Professional experience was significantly associated with better knowledge (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.021), and regression analysis confirmed that workplace (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      = \u22120.23,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.033) and prior clinical encounter with MG patients (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      = \u22120.28,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.008) were significant predictors of knowledge.
