Abstract
The utilization of teeth as identification markers necessitates the creation of comprehensive dental records, yet the implementation of this practice remains suboptimal. Consequently, there is a dearth of dental information, including outdated or incomplete medical records. Various studies have documented dentists' insufficient knowledge and compliance when completing medical records across different populations. In light of this, the current study aimed to assess the correlation between dentists' knowledge of medical records and their compliance in filling them out within the Sidoarjo Region of Jawa Timur, Indonesia. A questionnaire was administered to 93 dentists in the region to measure their knowledge and compliance, and a Chi-square analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between these two variables. The results revealed that the majority of dentists exhibited good knowledge (62.4%) and displayed good compliance (78.5%), with a p-value of 0.488 and α>0.05, indicating no significant correlation between dentists' knowledge of medical records and their compliance in filling them out within the Sidoarjo Regency.
