compared with widespread investigations on dental implant survival and biologic parameters, patient-based outcomes of implant dentistry have been neglected for years and are now becoming more popular. The aim of this representative opinion poll was to assess the up-to-date patients' mindset on dental implants and draw comparisons with the results published in 2003.
one thousand adults - representative for the Austrian population - were presented with a total of 16 questionnaire items regarding acceptance and subjectively perceived costs of dental implant treatment as well as patient satisfaction with implant-supported rehabilitation.
the implant acceptance rate was 56%, while 23% of the interviewees decidedly rejected implant treatment (same rate as in 2003), especially those over 50 years of age. Only 5% had themselves undergone implant treatment and 22% reported to know someone fitted with implants. The estimated costs of implant treatment were significantly higher than those in 2003, and three-quarters felt that the prize was too high and that the sick fund or social security agencies should bear them. Satisfaction scores were significantly higher among interviewees wearing implant-supported rehabilitations compared with those with conventional fixed or removable dentures.
little has changed in patients' attitude toward dental implants compared with the representative opinion poll in 2003. Neither implant acceptance nor implant prevalence in the Austrian population demonstrated upward trends. Professional public relations efforts are indicated to drop resentments and increase patient acceptance of dental implants as a treatment modality.
与广泛调查牙种植体的存活率和生物学参数相比，基于患者的种植体牙科治疗结果多年来一直被忽视，而现在越来越受到关注。本代表性问卷调查旨在评估当前患者对牙种植体的看法，并与 2003 年发表的结果进行比较。
1000 名成年人-代表奥地利人口-总共接受了 16 项问卷调查，内容涉及对牙种植体治疗的接受程度和主观感知成本以及对种植体支持修复的患者满意度。
种植体的接受率为 56%，而 23%的受访者坚决拒绝种植体治疗（与 2003 年相同），尤其是年龄在 50 岁以上的受访者。只有 5%的受访者接受了种植体治疗，22%的受访者报告说认识接受过种植体治疗的人。种植体治疗的估计费用明显高于 2003 年，四分之三的人认为价格过高，应由疾病基金或社会保障机构承担。与佩戴传统固定或可摘义齿的受访者相比，佩戴种植体支持修复体的受访者的满意度评分显著更高。
与 2003 年的代表性问卷调查相比，患者对牙种植体的态度几乎没有变化。牙种植体的接受率和在奥地利人群中的流行率均未呈上升趋势。需要开展专业的公共关系工作，以消除对牙种植体的不满情绪，提高患者对牙种植体作为治疗方式的接受程度。
