Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Tooth loss is a common problem that affects many people worldwide. Exploring knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) among patients can identify barriers and challenges in following recommended practices, providing valuable insights for dental healthcare providers, policymakers, and researchers. This study aimed to explore the KAP of patients with dental arch deficiencies regarding tooth loss and dentures.
METHODS: This web-based, cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with dental arch deficiencies using a self-designed questionnaire.
RESULTS: 3166 valid questionnaires were included. Participants\' mean KAP scores were 6.84 ± 2.27 (possible range: 0 ~ 12), 39.4 ± 3.72 (possible range: 9 ~ 45), and 27.7 ± 4.36 (possible range: 8 ~ 40), respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that knowledge (OR = 1.383), employed (OR = 1.805), family history (OR = 2.158), and treatment (OR = 1.683) were independently associated with attitude. Moreover, knowledge (OR = 1.239), attitude (OR = 1.250), female (OR = 0.619), age (OR = 0.967), college/bachelor (OR = 0.373), and master and above degree (OR = 0.418), employed (OR = 0.554) or student (OR = 0.434), with 10,001-20,000 Yuan household income per month (OR = 0.492), have been married (OR = 0.609), smoking (OR = 0.595), drinking (OR = 0.397), disease duration (OR = 0.972), with family history (OR = 1.676), and with treatment (OR = 3.492) were independently associated with practice (all P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with dental arch deficiencies have insufficient knowledge, positive attitudes, and moderate practice toward tooth loss and dentures, which might be affected by multiple demographic factors.

摘要：
背景：牙齿脱落是影响全球许多人的常见问题。探索知识,态度,患者中的实践(KAP)可以在遵循推荐的实践中识别障碍和挑战，为牙科保健提供者提供有价值的见解，政策制定者，和研究人员。本研究旨在探讨牙弓缺陷患者牙齿缺失和假牙的KAP。
方法：基于Web的，采用自行设计的问卷对牙弓缺陷患者进行横断面研究.
结果：纳入有效问卷3166份。参与者平均KAP得分为6.84±2.27(可能范围:0~12)，39.4±3.72(可能范围:9~45),27.7±4.36（可能范围：8~40），分别。多因素Logistic回归分析显示,知识(OR=1.383),受雇(OR=1.805)，家族史（OR=2.158），和治疗（OR=1.683）与态度独立相关。此外，知识（OR=1.239），姿态（OR=1.250），女性（OR=0.619），年龄（OR=0.967），大学/学士（OR=0.373），硕士及以上学历（OR=0.418），受雇(OR=0.554)或学生(OR=0.434)，每月家庭收入10,001-20,000元（OR=0.492），已结婚（OR=0.609），吸烟（OR=0.595），饮酒（OR=0.397），病程（OR=0.972），有家族史（OR=1.676），与治疗（OR=3.492）独立相关（均P<0.05）。
结论：牙弓缺陷患者知识不足，积极的态度，以及对牙齿脱落和假牙的适度练习，这可能会受到多种人口因素的影响。
