Abstract

A bonded bridge is a fixed prosthesis bonded to the palatal or lingual surface of the abutment teeth. It is one of the current trends in prosthetics. For this reason, we wanted to know where we stood with regard to this issue, which is why we conducted this study, the aim of which was to describe the knowledge and practice of odontostomatologists on this subject.

This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from 12 June to 21 July 2023 among odontostomatologists in the city of Antananarivo who were registered with the National Order of Odontostomatologists and who had given their consent to be surveyed. A total of 107 odontostomatologists were included.

Thirty-four point six percent were aware of bonded bridgework and 6.5% of them practiced it. This knowledge was related to their place of training (p=0.033) and their practice was strongly related to their knowledge (p=0.000), as well as to their specialization (p=0.022). The main obstacle to their practice was lack of knowledge (83%). On average, 71.4% followed the steps in the procedure. The most common bonding material used was luting cement (71.4%) and the most common bonded bridge was the 2-winged bridge (85.7%).

This study revealed that bonded bridges were less well known and very little practiced. Additional awareness-raising and training could be considered to promote and encourage them to practice it.
