| Abstract:
|
The objective of the study is to analyse the knowledge, awareness and practices of facebow and its significance in full mouth rehabilitation procedures among general practitioners. A questionnaire based survey is conducted among the general practitioners. The questionnaire contained questions such as the type of facebow used, the type of articulator preferred and the patient satisfaction. The data is collected and tabulated in excel sheets. The data analysis is done using SPSS software and the output is represented. 21.5% of the participants used facebow for full mouth rehabilitation procedures while 62.6% of them did not use the facebow. The most commonly preferred type of facebow included the arbitrary facebow compared to kinematic face bow. 52.3% of the participants are aware of the importance of facebow which helps in reducing the occlusal errors whereas 14.00% of them are not aware of the same. Within the limitation of the study, it can be concluded that the knowledge, awareness and practices among the general practitioners based on facebow and its significance in full mouth rehabilitation procedures are found to be inadequate. More knowledge and practices of using facebow in full mouth rehabilitation should be incorporated as a regular practice for dental practitioners to reduce occlusal complications.
