Abstract

Food impaction is one of the most common concerns regarding FPD (fixed partial denture) prostheses. However, the dentist often ignores these symptoms, which causes the patient to experience pain over time. The present study aimed to investigate the knowledge of dental professionals regarding the management of food impaction associated with fixed partial denture prostheses in Riyadh. An online survey was used to conduct this cross-sectional investigation among Riyadh's dentistry practitioners. The participants were requested to complete the survey after contacting Riyadh's hospitals and dental facilities. The participants were requested to complete the survey after contacting Riyadh's hospitals and dental facilities. An online survey was created that asked questions about personal information and demographics before asking questions about the impact of food and how to handle it. Of the 410 dental practitioners who responded to the survey, 39% were female and 61% were male. In terms of educational qualifications, 28% had a master's degree or Saudi board post-graduation, and 72%  had a bachelor's degree in dentistry. It is necessary to enhance the attitudes of dentists when instructing or fabricating for lab staff.
