Summary

Participants complete a 35-question digital questionnaire. The goal is to identify gaps in knowledge and improve interdisciplinary care between doctors and dentists.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If successful, this survey could highlight gaps in GP education and improve collaboration between dentists and doctors for better patient care.
What could go wrong: This is an observational survey, not a treatment trial. It only measures knowledge, not patient outcomes, and results may not apply outside Italy.
