ABSTRACT

Objeti vo: Determinar o conhecimento e pratica de cirurgioes dentistas nigerianos sobre a terapia do arco dental reduzido (TADR). Metodo: Um estudo transversal foi desenvolvido usando um questionario estruturado auto-aplicavel. O questionario continha informacoes sobre o conhecimento e a pratica dos respondentes com relacao a TADR. Os questionarios foram distribuidos aleatoriamente entre os clinicos-gerais e residentes em instituicoes de Odontologia na Nigeria. Resultados: Apenas 47 (43,5%) dos respondentes estavam cientes do conceito da terapia do arco dental reduzido (TADR). A maioria dos pesquisados nao foram informados da indicacao da idade para a tecnica e dos criterios para a reducao dos arcos dentarios. O percentual de pacientes com arco reduzido situa-se entre 5%. Aproximadamente metade dos sujeitos listaram a TADR como opcao de tratamento em 5% dos casos. A maioria nunca aplicou de forma ativa ou passiva a tecnica em sua pratica clinica. Conclusao: O conhecimento dos cirurgioes-dentistas sobre a TADR e inferior ao considerado satisfatorio. A aplicacao do conceito em um pais em desenvolvimento com a Nigeria parece ser inadequado neste momento.


Objective: To determine the knowledge and practice of a cross-section of Nigerian dentists about shortened dental arch therapy (SDAT). Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a self administered structured questionnaire. The questionnaire requested for information on knowledge and practice of the respondents as regards to the SDAT. The questionnaires were randomly distributed among general dental practitioners and residents (postgraduate doctors) in dental training institutions in Nigeria. Results: Only 47 (43.5%) respondents were aware of the concept of shortened dental arch therapy (SDAT). Most of the respondents were not aware of the age group indication and the suggested criteria for active shortening of the dental arches. The percentage of patients with shortened dental arch was put at ? 5% by most of the respondents. About half of the respondents list the SDAT as a treatment option in ?5% of cases. Most of the respondents have never applied active and or passive shortening in their practice. Conclusion: The knowledge of the respondents about SDAT is generally less than satisfactory. The application of the concept in a developing country like Nigeria also appeared grossly inadequate at the moment.
