A survey of participants in a continuing education course in osseointegrated implants was carried out to determine dentists' attitudes toward such courses and how they were integrating implants into their everyday practice. The results indicated, despite the intense program, very few general dentists who attended such a course chose to actively participate in implant placement and a moderate number chose to carry out prosthetic restoration. Those who attended such courses appeared satisfied with the course content, appreciated the difficulties involved with implant placement and restoration and generally chose to refer such cases to appropriate specialists for management. This pilot study confirms dental implants are a popular and accepted mode of therapy. However, general dental practitioners who take the time to undergo specific training in osseointegrated implants appear to be less inclined to actively participate in the placement (surgery) of implants. Following appropriate training, many general practitioners felt comfortable in performing the restorative/prosthetic aspect of implant treatment for single tooth rather than partial or full denture cases. In conclusion, while continuing education courses in osseointegrated implants are becoming increasingly popular, this survey indicates participants become aware of the complexity of the procedures involved and tend to actively participate mainly in the prosthetic reconstruction of simple cases.
对参加骨结合种植体继续教育课程的学员进行了一项调查，以确定牙医对这类课程的态度，以及他们如何将种植体融入日常临床实践。结果表明，尽管课程安排紧凑，但参加此类课程的普通牙医中，很少有人选择积极参与种植体植入，只有少数人选择进行修复。参加此类课程的人似乎对课程内容感到满意，认识到种植体植入和修复的困难，并且通常会将此类病例转介给合适的专科医生进行处理。这项初步研究证实，牙种植体是一种流行且被认可的治疗方式。然而，花时间接受骨结合种植体特定培训的普通牙科医生似乎不太倾向于积极参与种植体植入（手术）。经过适当培训后，许多普通牙科医生对进行单颗牙种植治疗的修复/假牙方面感到得心应手，而对于部分或全口义齿病例则不然。总之，虽然骨结合种植体继续教育课程越来越受欢迎，但这项调查表明，参与者意识到了相关程序的复杂性，并且倾向于主要积极参与简单病例的修复重建。
