Adoption of change in endodontic practice after an educational program: A qualitative study.

The results improve the understanding of a multifaceted process underlying the acceptance of changes to clinical endodontic procedures by dentists in a public dental health organization. Important contributing factors identified were governance support, a committed resource person with contextual knowledge, tolerance of flexibility in implementation, and permissive informal communication channels within the local workplace. These findings might be a valuable contribution to an evidence base, facilitating the selection of the most appropriate educational strategy and structure for a specified purpose.
