The aim of the present study was to evaluate patient attitudes and expectations relative to dental implant treatment. A questionnaire was mailed to all 400 patients that had received dental implant treatment at a large multi-specialist clinic during 2008. The questionnaire included questions relative to the reasons for dental implant treatment, if the patient earlier had considered dental implants, expectations of the treatment, discomfort during and after surgery, and how the patient perceived the esthetic outcome. The response rate was 61% (114 men/130 women). The stated reason for tooth loss was in 50% of the patients periodontitis,19% caries, 8% accidents,13% other reasons, and 10% no stated reason. Almost all patients (96%) were satisfied with the esthetic appearance and also regarding the information of the treatment (94%). Regarding the time between surgery and completion of prosthetic work, 79% (n = 192) found it to be reasonable. 71% (n = 170) thought the cost was what they had expected. 47% of the patients experienced the implant surgery better than expected and 48% as expected. In conclusion, the present study revealed that almost all patients were satisfied with the function and esthetics of the dental implant reconstruction and most patients were also satisfied regarding the costs and treatment duration.
本研究的目的是评估患者对牙种植治疗的态度和期望。向2008年期间在一家大型多专科诊所接受牙种植治疗的所有400名患者邮寄了一份问卷。问卷包括与牙种植治疗原因相关的问题、患者此前是否考虑过牙种植、对治疗的期望、手术期间及术后的不适，以及患者对美学效果的看法。回复率为61%（男性114人/女性130人）。50%的患者称牙齿缺失原因是牙周炎，19%是龋齿，8%是事故，13%是其他原因，10%未说明原因。几乎所有患者（96%）对美学外观以及治疗信息（94%）都感到满意。关于手术与修复工作完成之间的时间，79%（n = 192）认为合理。71%（n = 170）认为费用符合他们的预期。47%的患者体验到种植手术比预期好，48%的患者体验到与预期一样。总之，本研究表明几乎所有患者对牙种植修复的功能和美学效果感到满意，并且大多数患者对费用和治疗时长也感到满意。
