“…The response rate to the study was less than desirable, but nevertheless, "typical" for dental practitioner based surveys at least for the Hong Kong SAR (Ng et al 2011;Esfandiari et al 2011). This, in part, may be related to the setting of dental services provision in Hong Kong which is primarily in private practice with limited public or third party involvement and thereby participation is voluntary and without incentive, unlike other practice based surveys (Edwards et al 2007).…”

“…This is particularly so in economically affluent countries, or at least in economically advantaged communities where people can afford the more expensive dental treatment modalities (Brä gger et al 2005;Leung & McGrath 2010;Scheuber et al 2012). This, in turn, has led to the widespread availability of the provision of dental implants among dental care providers, including general dental practitioners in such communities (Ng et al 2011;Esfandiari et al 2011).…”

“…1,2 In the developed world, implant therapy is highly prevalent and offered by specialist practitioners and general dentists of varying levels of expertise. 3,4 Systematic reviews of clinical trials with a mean observation period of at least five years are widely regarded as the highest level of evidence on which to base surgical and treatment protocols. [5][6][7] However, studies included within systematic reviews often contain strict inclusion and exclusion criteria which can create a patient population not reflective of that encountered in private practice.…”

Background: The population seeking implants in private practice is a demographically and medically unique group. Understanding their medical needs can improve treatment planning and service delivery specifically for this population. Methods: Privately practising dental clinicians from Victoria, Australia, participated in a five-year retrospective study. Data were collected from the medical histories of 4116 patients who met the inclusion criterion of at least one implant placed within the study period of 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2009. Descriptive statistics were used to describe patient demographics and commonly reported medical conditions. Results: The most common age group to receive implant therapy was between 51 and 60 years (30.4% of patients). The patient population reported a broad range of co-morbidities including psychiatric disorders (83 patients), cardiovascular disorders (253 patients), gastrointestinal disorders (224 patients) and respiratory disorders (502 patients). Smoking was less prevalent amongst the study population compared to the general population. Conclusions: The population assessed in this study was a medically diverse group. Clinicians must be familiar with their target demographic and understand how the common co-morbidities amongst this patient group can influence clinical decision making and outcomes.

Background: In 2016, 459 dentists were registered in French West Indies and French Guyana. They represent 10% of French clinicians but they work in an environment very different from continental France. The aim of this study was to describe dental implantology practices among dentists in Guadeloupe, Martinique, and French Guyana. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study, with questionnaires sent by email, was conducted from November 2016 to January 2017. Results: 116 practitioners answered. Respondents were all general practitioners, except two dentists who practiced only surgical procedures (not specialists). Implant surgeries were provided by 50% respondents and soft-tissue or hard-tissue grafting were provided by 34.5% of the sample. Prosthodontic procedures were carried out by 62.9% respondents. At last, 34.5% of the sample were not involved in implant services. Discussion: The proportion of dentists who performed implant procedures was similar to that reported in other international studies and French survey. The percentage of dentists not involved in implant dentistry still significant and the most frequently reported barriers were the expense of treatment, patient's difficulties to afford the treatment and the lack of knowledge. Conclusion: The practice of implant dentistry is widespread in French West Indies and French Guyana. Dental implant use was not different between clinicians of Guadeloupe, Martinique, and French Guyana. The number of dentists who received local implant training was lower in French Guyana.

Types of Canadian Dentists Who Are More Likely to Provide Dental Implant Treatment

Abstract: This study provides an evidence that the rate of adoption of implant technology among Canadian dentists depends mainly on practitioners' age, practice ownership, and their specialties.
