“…On the other hand, more than half of the participants in this study (65.3% of graduates of some Saudi dental schools and 41.3% of some non-Saudi dental schools) also reported that case selection is the most significant standard for the success of dental implants procedure which is lower than those participants revealed in a previous Saudi study [37].…”

Objective: To assess the actual practical attitude and knowledge of dental implants among senior dental students and general dentists graduated from some Saudi and Non-Saudi dental schools. Methods: A total of 300 senior dental students and general dentists participated in the study. Hard copies of the self-designed, multiple-choice questionnaires were distributed to all participants. The questionnaire consisted of 31 questions in five parts. Data were collected and analyzed using Chi-square test and t-test, where p < 0.05 was calculated to be statistically significant and p < 0.001 to be statistically highly significant. Results: There is a statistically significant relationship between the participants' answers, and their dental schools. Participants' general knowledge, training, and teaching of dental implants, as well as information about restorations retained for the dental implants, were higher among participants from Saudi dental schools than participants from non-Saudi dental schools, while the information about dental implants was higher among participants from non-Saudi dental schools than participants from Saudi dental schools. Conclusion: We conclude that the actual practical attitude and knowledge of dental implants among participants in the current study was insufficient. Therefore, dental implant education in the undergraduate curricula of dental schools surveyed should be updated to include teaching, laboratory training, and preclinical and clinical training.

“…This can be due to the complex nature of these procedures and very few senior practitioners were included in the study. Another study by Al-Dajani et al shows that sinus lift surgeries for implants required additional skills from the implant practitioner [ 22 ].…”

Background: Dental implants require good surgical and prosthetic skills with special training for successful treatment outcomes. Aim: To assess the knowledge of the dental practitioners in Palestine about the therapeutic trends in implant dentistry. Materials and methods: The present study is a cross-sectional questionnaire study among dental practitioners registered in Palestinian dental association. All practitioners who consented and completely filled the questionnaire were included in the study. All participants were asked basic demographic questions, and their attitude towards basic and advanced dental implant trends was assessed. Chi-square test was used to associate a correlation between the area of location of the clinic and responses to the questionnaire (p<0.05). Results: Most of the dental practitioners were aware about the basic implant therapeutic trends. However, since most of the practitioners included in the present study had limited years of experience, they referred the advanced implant procedures to senior practitioners. Conclusion: Dental practitioners in Palestine have good knowledge on the dental implant therapeutic trends. However, they do not carry out the advanced implant procedures and usually refer them to senior practitioners. There is no variation in the knowledge of the implant therapeutic trends based on varying locations of dental clinics.
