Abstract

Introduction: To achieve successful root canal treatments on cardiovascular patients, endodontists must have enough knowledge of these diseases and related considerations. Hence, the aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and performance of Iranian endodontists regarding patients with cardiovascular disorders. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 101 specialist endodontists (41 men and 60 women) from different geographical parts of Iran. A 29-item questionnaire was used to assess knowledge, attitudes, and performance in terms of managing patients with cardiovascular disorders in specialist endodontic practice. Responses were analyzed using Chi-square or Fisher's exact test with IBM SPSS version 22 software. Results: Knowledge was rated as favorable for 67.3% of respondents and as acceptable for the remaining 32.7%, while attitudes were rated as favorable for 40.6% and acceptable for 57.4%. Performance was graded as favorable for 75.2% and acceptable for the remaining 24.8. Conclusion: Overall the majority of Iranian Endodontists had a good level of knowledge regarding the management of patients with cardiovascular disorders. Furthermore, because of the high importance of this medical intervention and the high number of patients dealing with cardiovascular disorders, the majority of the responders were still interested in promoting their knowledge on this topic through participating in continual educational programs.
