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.
