ABSTRACT:

Objective: To collect basic data on various prosthetic procedures performed by dentists belonging to various dental specialties in Multan. Place and Duration: Nishtar Institute of Dentistry, Multan and Dental Practitioners of Multan City for Six months duration from 1st November 2019 to 30th April 2020. Methodology: A total of 150 self-designed anonymous questionnaires in English were included. The questionnaire consisted of three parts that included questions about age, gender, seniority and type of dental practice, number of patients treated per month by GDP for different dentures, and questions about perceived denture change. Descriptive statistics and data analysis were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 (SPSS, Chicago, USA). Results: A large number of respondents (84.6%) reported that the number of complete prostheses delivered to patients increased or remained unchanged. Overall, 81.4% reported activity in the RPD as "increasing" or "stable". In the case of an implant-supported prosthesis, a very small number of respondents reported that the practice is declining. Keywords: dentists, prosthetic referrals, prosthetic reconstructions, Implant supported prosthesis.
