AIM: This survey assessed the attitude of paediatric dental EAPD members toward using "knee-to-knee" positioning for dental examinations and minor procedures in infants and toddlers.
METHODS: An anonymous electronic online questionnaire was distributed among EAPD members. The survey consisted of 12 questions and assessed demographic characteristics, professional experience and attitudes toward the use of the "knee-to-knee" position.
RESULTS: Of the 162 respondents, 148 (91%) reported using "knee-to-knee" positioning for dental examination. In addition, 97 (63%) reported performing other procedures in the "knee-to-knee" position. Fluoride application and oral hygiene instructions were the most common procedures performed in the "knee-to-knee" position.
CONCLUSIONS: Most of the paediatric dentists who responded to this survey reported performing dental examinations in toddlers up to 2 years old using the "knee-to-knee" position. Majority of respondents also used this position to instruct parents regarding oral hygiene and to apply fluoride varnish.
