dc.description.abstractObjective: To evaluate the thoughts and feelings of dentists viewing posted clinical cases (PCCs) on various social media (SM) platforms. Methods: A questionnaire was developed, validated and its reliability was established. It was distributed (in 2022) to 355 dentists who had graduated at least 2 years prior. It had three sections consisting of 20 items pertaining to general information, SM usage, and feelings. Descriptive data were reported using percentages. The chi-squared test was used for inferential analysis. P 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The response rate was 92%. The majority of respondents were non-post-graduates (63%), and aged 40 years (90%) with clinical experience <5 years (41%). Dentists with the most clinical experience (>15 years) shared their clinical work significantly more than their counterparts (p < 0.05). Most of the dentists did not feel motivated after viewing the PCCs (41%), especially those aged >40 years (p ¼ 0.037), and thought that viewing the PCCs was the reason for personal dissatisfaction (50%). They had a belief that they possess skills (36%) and knowledge (42%), but not the necessary equipment to replicate the PCCs (39%). Conclusions: The majority of dentists felt that viewing the PCCs on SM can cause personal dissatisfaction and lack of motivation. They had a belief that they possess the skills and knowledge to replicate the PCCs, but lack equipment. Investing resources in clinical workshops, mentorship, and the procurement of modern equipment early in the career of dentists may improve their mental well-being, satisfaction, and quality of treatment delivered to patients.en_US
