Abstract

Introduction: Oral radiology is an essential part of dental education, so that, by completion, all dental students are believed to have established skills in understanding intraoral and extraoral radiographs. Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted among the dental Interns of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia using an online survey. Online questionnaire was constructed consisting of questions related to personal, professional, and demographic data followed by questions including knowledge, confidence, and skills related to oral maxillofacial radiology. Results: 94.7% of participants had undertaken radiological science courses, 81.3% had lecture-based methods of teaching, 58.2% reported having education in cephalometric radiography, and 39.3% showed high confidence in the level of education they received. Conclusion: Training experience of dental interns regarding oral maxillofacial radiology seems to be adequate. However, their attitude and confidence level seems to be low.
