Awareness Dental Specialists about Different Treatment Modalities to Replace Congenitally Missing Lateral Incisors
Aims. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the dentists' and dental experts' knowledge of orthodontic closure vs. replacement as treatment options for congenitally missing lateral incisors. Methods. A cross-sectional study involving 185 dentists from several areas was carried out between September and October of 2023. A set of twenty-four multiple-choice questions was developed. Microsoft Excel 2010 was used for data collection, while SPSS version 26 was used for analysis utilising descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests. Results. A study of 185 questionnaires found that the majority of participants were general practitioners, with 56.6% working in private and government-funded clinics. Most participants exhibited an elevated incidence of lateral incisor tooth absence, a trend frequently identified through routine diagnostic procedures. A dentist with over ten years of experience identified a growing occurrence of lateral incisor tooth absence, calling for a specialised treatment approach. Participants generally preferred dental implants over orthodontics, fixed prostheses, and removable prostheses. Most general practitioners, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and orthodontists preferred implant replacement for long-term aesthetic and functional results. The study found significantly those general practitioners and oral surgeons mostly stay updated on missing lateral incisor treatment through continuing education courses, while orthodontists and prosthodontists prefer reading professional journals. Conclusion. It is evident that the prevalence of tooth agenesis has increased, leading to a heightened demand for specialised dental treatment.
