The aim of restorative dentistry in high-risk groups tends to shift over time from the preservation of complete dental arches towards the preservation of functional dental arches, using a functionally oriented approach. An example of this approach, aimed at limited treatment goals, is the shortened dental arch (SDA) concept. The objective of this study was to investigate dentists' attitudes to the SDA concept in general practice. A questionnaire seeking information pertaining to the attitudes and application of the SDA concept in clinical practice was sent to all dentally qualified members of staff in the field of restorative dentistry in the Nijmegen School of Dentistry (n = 64). From a 64% response, it was found that all but one of the respondents view the SDA concept as having a useful place in clinical practice. Although the respondents indicated only regular or occasional use of SDA in < 10% of patients, the outcome of SDA management was generally satisfactory or at least sufficient, notably in the care of special category patients. The findings support the view that the SDA concept has a role in contemporary clinical practice.
随着时间的推移，高危人群口腔修复学的目标倾向于从保留完整牙弓转向采用功能导向方法保留功能性牙弓。这种针对有限治疗目标的方法的一个例子是短牙弓（SDA）概念。本研究的目的是调查全科牙医对SDA概念的态度。一份寻求有关SDA概念在临床实践中的态度和应用信息的问卷被发送给奈梅亨牙科学院修复牙科领域所有具备牙科资质的工作人员（n = 64）。从64%的回复率中发现，除一人外，所有受访者都认为SDA概念在临床实践中有一席之地。尽管受访者表示仅在不到10%的患者中定期或偶尔使用SDA，但SDA管理的结果总体上令人满意或至少足够，尤其是在特殊类别患者的护理中。这些发现支持了SDA概念在当代临床实践中具有作用的观点。
