First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This study looks at a common thinking error called the 'tunnel effect,' where dentists focus too much on one thing and miss the big picture, which can lead to mistakes. Researchers will survey 160 French dentists and dental trainees to find out how much they know about this problem and what raises the risk. The goal is to raise awareness and improve patient safety in dental care.
