Abstract
This study aimed to document knowledge, awareness, and ability to provide different aspects of orthodontic treatment currently provided by pedodontists. A 14-item online questionnaire was sent to 120 pedodontists in different countries. Responses received within 2 months were analyzed as frequency and percentage. The response rate was 68.3%. Most respondents demonstrated adequate information about the etiology and diagnosis of different malocclusions and paid attention to patients' facial characteristics. The desire to learn from continuing education programs was higher for preventive and interceptive orthodontics. Space maintainers, habit breakers, management of anterior crossbite, and serial extraction were the orthodontic services most provided by pedodontists. Pedodontists should attend to continuing education about the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment planning for various malocclusions.
