“…It seemed that despite the high awareness percentage and the positive attitude towards the SDA concept, the majority of the dentists were not applying it in their clinical practice in Jordan. This finding was in agreement with similar studies conducted in other countries [13–15, 37, 38].…”

Aims To assess the awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and application of the shortened dental arch (SDA) concept by dentists in Jordan. Materials and Methods In this cross-sectional survey, a questionnaire was disseminated to a random sample of 150 dentists working in private practices, university hospitals, or governmental institutes. The chi-square (X2) test was used to examine associations. Results One hundred and six dentists responded (70.7% response rate). Fifty-five were females. 82.1% were aware of the SDA concept. The fewer the years of experience, the more likely the dentists were aware of the SDA concept (X2, P=0.024) and the more likely they learned about it through undergraduate education (X2, P < 0.001). In a hypothetical clinical situation of a patient >50 years of age with missing molar teeth, 45.3% agreed that the molars should be replaced, while 54.7% did not agree. Improving mastication was the main reason for agreeing (81.6%), while having reduced functional benefit was the main reason for disagreeing (64.9%). The treatment modality most commonly recommended was implants fixed partial dentures (84.9%). Of those aware of SDA, 67.8% agreed it could have a useful place in treatment planning within Jordan. Cost reduction for patients was the main reason for this answer, as reported by 51% of those who agreed. 26.4% did not apply SDA for any of their patients, while 50.6% applied it for <10% of their patients. Conclusion The majority of the dentists was aware of the SDA concept and had a positive attitude towards it; however, few of them applied it in their practice.

“…The SDA concept was introduced more recently to Japanese dentists and intensive discussions regarding its application and limitations have just started in The Japan Prosthetic Society. 23 Thus, older Japanese dentists may adhere to the traditional concept more strongly than younger dentists.…”

Although a traditional clinical concept of prosthetic intervention on molars without antagonist is still believed among a great majority of Japanese dentists, a "wait-and-see" policy seems to be accepted in this clinical situation by some prosthetic specialists. AbstractPurpose: The aim of this questionnaire study was to survey Japanese dentists' perceptions of risks for overeruption of unopposed molars and dentists' attitudes to prosthetic intervention. Methods:A clinical situation with a 42-year-old male patient who just had lost the left mandibular molars was presented. A series of questions was provided regarding what would most probably occur with the unopposed maxillary molars within a 10-year period, what treatment to propose, and indications for the proposed treatment. The questionnaire was sent to the council members of the Japanese prosthodontic society, doctors of Matsumoto Dental University, members of the Nagano and Niigata prefecture dental societies via letter, facsimile or E-mail.Results: 887 of 1320 (67%) dentists returned completed questionnaires. The great majority believed that overeruption of the unopposed molars would occur within a 10-year period (94%). 87% of respondents wanted to perform prosthetic treatment. In contrast, a "wait-and-see" alternative was chosen by only 12%. The most commonly suggested indications for the treatments were the risk for overeruption (96%) followed by impaired masticatory function (77%) and development of TMD (73%). Conclusion:To date, the majority of Japanese dentists seem to believe that overeruption of molars would occur after extraction of antagonists, and that prosthetic interventions are necessary to prevent possible clinical problems.
