“…This is close to the percentages obtained in many studies. 4,5,10,11,15,16 However, it was higher than the results obtained in studies conducted in SA [6][7][8][9] and in India [17][18][19] and much higher than a single study conducted in Nigeria, which registered only 9.7% of health-worker respondents who have knowledge of dental implants. This can be explained by the socio-economic status and monthly income of the respondents (Table III).…”

“…3 Previous local studies found that the level of knowledge and awareness of individuals about dental implants was low in the Assier regions (21.7%) and Sudan (28.5%) and high in Alkharj towns (77.7%) and Kuwait (96.4%). [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] In different countries, the awareness was 60.9% in Turkey, 39.8% in Pakistan, 52.6% in Nepal, 85% in America, and 79% in Austria.

Aims: To assess the awareness, knowledge, and information sources regarding dental implants as an option of treatment to replace missing teeth among patients in Jazan Province, Saudi Arabia. Materials and methods: The current study consisted of 14 questions used to assess the patients' awareness, expectations and level of knowledge of dental implants. Three categories of questions were used, with the first one related to the patients' knowledge and options for replacement of missing teeth, the second about dental implants and their providers, and the third on the techniques, materials, care, and durability of dental implants. The collected data was analyzed using Chi-square tests, and P values less than 0.005 were considered significant. Results: A total of 380 subjects were divided into two groups, medical (40.3%) or non-medical (59.7%) related. We found that 85% and 71.0% of the medical and non-medical subjects, respectively know the importance of replacement of missing teeth, while 50% had known the different types of dental implants with no significance (P< .001) between the two groups. Dentists were the sources of the information (43.3% and 34.8% for the medical and non-medical groups respectively). Around 50% of the medical subjects thought that dental implants came with a screw compared with 36.6% of non-medical subjects with value of P .025. In total, 60%-70% of respondents from both groups answered that dental implants should be provided by specialists only. Around 29% of all patients cited "lifetime" as the survival period of implants. Also, 52%-77% of the respondents related the implant site to the "the jaw bone," with significant difference of P .000. Conclusions: The awareness and knowledge of the subjects were acceptable with higher percentage among respondents in the medical group. Dentists followed by friends were the main sources of information for dental implants. Dental implants are considered as the best choice for replacement of missing teeth with excellent durability and need of much more special care than natural teeth.

“…[5] Most of the studies on the awareness of dental implants in various parts of India and other countries suggest the use of dental implants in the rehabilitation of partially edentulous and completely edentulous patients in metropolitan cities and among the upper-middle class, rich, and educated people. [56] Thus, the need of the hour is to assess the level of awareness, knowledge, attitude, and acceptance of dental implants as a treatment option for missing teeth even in developing cities. This survey study is an attempt to evaluate the same in patients visiting SDM College of Dental Sciences and Hospital (SDMCDSH), Dharwad, and provide dental education for developing positive attitude among the population.…”

Background:The use of dental implants as a prosthetic treatment modality for partially edentulous or completely edentulous patients is increased more commonly ever since the concept of osseointegration has been accepted.Objective:The objective of this study is to assess the awareness, knowledge, attitude, and acceptance of dental implants as a treatment modality among patients visiting SDM Dental College, Dharwad.Materials and Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 500 patients visiting SDM College of Dental Sciences and Hospital (SDMCDSH), Dharwad, using a self-explanatory questionnaire.Results:A total of 500 individuals participated in the survey. The results of this survey indicate that 93.4% of the patients knew about dental implants, and for majority of them, the major source of information was through their dentist followed by relatives and friends and electronic media. About 60.4% patients disapproved the removable prosthesis as an option for the replacement of missing teeth. 77.2% patients expressed that they could not afford for the dental implant treatment. The major deterioration for this treatment was related to the cost in 80.4% patients, surgical procedure in 11.6% patients, and a long treatment time in 5.6% patients. While 60.4% patients felt that dental implants being expensive, is the treatment option only for the rich.Conclusion:The results of this survey showed that majority of the patients visiting SDMCDSH, Dharwad, were aware about dental implants as a treatment modality for the replacement of missing teeth. Although the attitude was positive and they did accept dental implants as a treatment option, the treatment cost mainly was the major reason to take a back step.

“…Largest of the investigations on the awareness of dental implants in various parts of India and other countries recommend the use of dental implants in the restoration of partially edentulous and completely edentulous patients in urban cities and among the upper-middle class, wealthy, and trained people (Satpathy et al, 2011;Awooda et al, 2014) As implant therapy is an elective procedure in most of the patient cases complete information on implant treatment and alternative treatments must be provided to guide the patient in the choice of the most appropriate option (Saha et al, 2013). However, little information is available to the patients concerning the procedure and its bene it.…”

Managing the demand, prevalence, and the design of partial tooth loss is imperative to recognize the prosthetic necessities of the patients. A factor that may affect prosthodontic work is the patients' awareness of the most advanced technologies in aesthetic dentistry. The choice of prosthetic replacement is largely defined by the patient's choice and budgetary status, accessible technology and expertise, as well as the number of missing teeth. The aim of this study was to identify the preference of treatment choice from implant and FPD for the patients treated at a private dental hospital. The sample size consisted of 1122 patients who had FPDs or implants. The case sheets of patients were obtained from the patient record system. The data of each patient was obtained and tabulated. In our study, 54.46 % of patients were male, 45.45 % of patients were female, and 0.09 % belonged to the transgender population. 3.21 % patients belong to the age group of less than 20 years, 54.06 % patients in the age group 21-40 years, 35.5 % patients in the age group 41-60 years and 7.2 % patients in the age group above 60 years. The overall FPD were 809 across all age groups with the maximum in the age group 21-40 years (40.59%). Overall implants were 312 across all age groups with the maximum at 21-40 years (13.47%). It was concluded that there is a significant difference in the preference of patients opting for implant vs FPD, in which FPD was highly opted by the patients. Although removable partial dentures extended to play a significant role in prosthetic teeth replacement, the use of FPDs and dental implants showed an increase in number.
