Summary

Diagnostic errors in dentistry are not well understood. This study finds 40% of dentists regularly observe errors made by others, while only 12.4% admitted making mistakes themselves. Younger dentists and those seeing over 61 patients weekly admitted reporting more personal errors. The authors recommend developing strategies to reduce these incidents.
