Abstract
The objective of this survey was to assess attitudes of pediatric dentists in Israel toward using "knee-to-knee" positioning for dental examinations and for minor procedures in infants and toddlers. An anonymous questionnaire was distributed among specialists in pediatric dentistry. Eleven questions accessed demographic data, professional experience and attitudes toward the use of the "knee-to-knee" position. Of 68 respondents, 66 (97%) reported using "knee-to-knee" positioning for dental checkups. In addition, 52 (76%) reported performing other procedures in the "knee-to-knee" position. Fluoride application and oral hygiene instructions are the most common procedures performed in the "knee-to-knee" position. "Knee-to-knee" positioning was found very convenient for dental examinations and other simple procedures in very young children.
