Introduction: Teeth play a significant part in the maintenance of a healthy personality and an affirmative self-image. Tooth loss is psychologically a very traumatizing and upsetting experience, and is considered to be a serious event in the life of a person, requiring significant psychological readjustment. Objective: Evaluate the prosthetic status and attitude of the patients towards replacement of the teeth among the patients visiting dental department, Noble Medical College and Teaching Hospital (NMCTH) Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted over a duration of 6 months to determine prosthetic status and attitude of the patients towards replacement of the teeth among all patients visiting Department of prosthodontics, NMCTH. The inclusion criteria was all patients with at least one missing tooth (excluding third molars) and subjects who gave consent for the study. All the Patients were provided with six close ended questionnaire followed by clinical examination by a well trained investigator. Result: The total number of participants was 297. Of them 157 were male and 140 were female. Most frequently encountered age group was 21-30 years Of these, 80.8% of individual were provided with proper information about replacement of teeth whereas 19.2 % were not. 70.7% individual said they will replace only when they find difficulty in their daily activities. 64.6 % of individual wanted to replace teeth for appearance, 20.5% for function and 14.8% for both appearance and function. 79.5 %stated financial problem and 18.2% stated lack of awareness regarding not replacement of teeth. Conclusion: The patients’ attitudes and demand towards the replacement of missing teeth might be different from the clinicians’ assessment. We consider factors such as the preservation of natural teeth and the maintenance of periodontal health as priority but patients tends to prioritize comfort in mastication and improvement of esthetics. Therefore, it is vital to investigate patients’ awareness, need and demand on prosthodontic treatment options.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the level, sources of information, awareness, and acceptance of dental implant therapy among dental patients in Aseer region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Materials and methods: Information on demographic variables, level and sources of information, awareness, and acceptance of dental implant therapy as a treatment modality was obtained by self-explanatory survey containing 17 questions. The data were collected at five government dental health centers at Aseer region. The survey forms were distributed by in-charge dentist to the patients who were on routine visit. A total of 500 questionnaires were distributed out of which 479 were included in the survey. Results: The survey analysis demonstrated that 87% of participants were aware of dental implant therapy. Participants with high education level showed more awareness compared with lower education level (p < 0.05); 22.2% of participants were well informed about dental implants, 59.3% of them were moderately informed, 16.1% of them were poorly informed, and 2.4% were not informed about dental implants. The high cost (41.5%) was the major reason for people not choosing implant therapy followed by other reasons, such as fear of unknown side effects (33.0%), the need for surgery (13.5%), and long duration of treatment (12.0%). Conclusion: The surveyed participants in Aseer region were well aware about dental implants as a treatment option in replacing missing teeth. However, the dentists should provide accurate information to the patients regarding implant therapy irrespective of the patient's willingness to undergo therapy or not. High treatment cost for dental implant therapy was the main reason for patients refraining from implant therapy.
