This study aims to explore the awareness among the interns regarding the jaw relation procedures. Jaw relation is one of the most important criteria for the fabrication of complete dentures to provide a satisfactory oral function for the aging population.
The study design was a descriptive survey.
A self-administered questionnaire was designed and distributed among 202 interns in three different colleges in Salem and Namakkal in Tamil Nadu using Stratified Proportionate Random Sampling Technique. The survey included a questionnaire with ten questions to assess the knowledge and awareness of jaw relation procedures among the interns.
The statistical tools used to analyze the levels of awareness among the interns were frequencies and percentage analysis. Chi-square tests and logistic regression were used to investigate the relationship between awareness among interns, with respect to gender, age, and complete dentures done, with the level of significance at < 0.05 using Microsoft Excel and SPSS software version 23.
The awareness prevalent regarding jaw relation and its procedures among the respondents was 83%. There was a statistically significant relationship between maximum complete dentures done and awareness among interns ( < 0.001). Complete dentures made a significant contribution to the prediction of awareness ( < 0.0001).
To improve the awareness among the interns increased educational programs, clinical training and greater patient exposure to the clinical application of jaw relation procedures to construct complete dentures are needed during their undergraduate education.
本研究旨在探究实习医生对颌位关系操作的认知情况。颌位关系是制作全口义齿的最重要标准之一，可为老年人群提供满意的口腔功能。
本研究设计为描述性调查。
设计了一份自填式问卷，并采用分层比例随机抽样技术，在泰米尔纳德邦塞勒姆和纳马卡尔的三所不同院校的202名实习医生中进行发放。该调查包括一份有十个问题的问卷，以评估实习医生对颌位关系操作的知识和认知。
用于分析实习医生认知水平的统计工具为频数和百分比分析。使用Microsoft Excel和SPSS 23软件版本，采用卡方检验和逻辑回归来研究实习医生的认知与性别、年龄以及完成的全口义齿制作之间的关系，显著性水平为<0.05。
受访者中对颌位关系及其操作的认知率为83%。完成的全口义齿制作数量与实习医生的认知之间存在统计学上的显著关系（<0.001）。全口义齿制作对认知预测有显著贡献（<0.0001）。
为提高实习医生的认知，在其本科教育期间，需要增加教育项目、临床培训，并让患者更多地接触颌位关系操作在全口义齿制作中的临床应用。
