In one of the most recent surveys, dentists were asked if they have been disappointed by dental peer review. Respondents were split on the issue; 47% reported having problems, while the remaining 53% had no issues with dental boards. “I think it is a fair process to both the patient and the dentist,” commented one dentist. Another disagreed, saying, “The dentist is assumed guilty; it’s a witch hunt even if you are innocent.”

Specialists were significantly less likely than general dentists to have had trouble with dental board peer review. Though half of general dentists (51%) reported problems, only 14% of specialists did.

Geographical location was not highly correlated with results. However, urban dentists were the most likely to complain about dental peer review.
