Abstract |
Dental patients' awareness and impressions on dental implants is of interest using a standard questionnaire. Out of the three hundred individuals, 48% correctly identified dental implants as a fixed prosthesis replacing a tooth root and 72% had heard of them. Despite obstacles, including significant cost, anxiety and ignorance, still exist, most respondents had positive impressions; 66% of them highly rated dental implants. Strongly correlated were higher degrees of education and growing acceptance of dental implants, as well as awareness. These results highlight the need for improved patient education and focused communication techniques to raise acceptability and informed decision-making about dental implant treatments. |
