Introduction: Increasing confidence through learning has the potential to change General Dental Practitioners' (GDPs) perceptions of clinical practice. By examining how changes in confidence influence the clinical practice of two cohorts of GDPs, during and following an extended period of postgraduate training, we show the importance of confidence to GDPs and that a lack of confidence is a primary reason why GDPs attend postgraduate training courses.
Methods: A mixed-method approach was adopted for this study.
