Indonesia foresees high demand in providing dental implant therapy and need to prepare competent graduating dentists. No information about undergraduate dental implant education in Indonesia has been reported in the literature. The objective of this study was to investigate dental students' perceptions towards implant treatment and education in one Indonesian dental school.
A survey was distributed to 166 fourth- and fifth-year students of Faculty of Dentistry, University of Indonesia (FD-UI). The survey consisted of 14 questions on students' perceptions on implant treatment, current undergraduate implant curriculum, and their future plans.
One hundred and forty-one students (85%) returned the survey. Dental implant was considered as a treatment of choice for restoring missing mandibular first molar and maxillary anterior tooth, but not edentulous mandible. The majority of students rated that the topic of implant dentistry was insufficiently covered during undergraduate education, were interested in learning more, and planned to include implant as part of their future practice.
Dental students of FD-UI are aware of implant treatment as a restorative option in replacing a single missing tooth. There is a need for a nationwide discussion for introducing a comprehensive implant dentistry curriculum in undergraduate dental education in Indonesia.
印度尼西亚预计对牙种植治疗的需求很高，需要培养有能力的牙科毕业生。文献中尚未报道印度尼西亚本科牙种植教育的相关信息。本研究的目的是调查印度尼西亚一所牙科学院学生对种植治疗和教育的看法。
对印度尼西亚大学牙科学院（FD-UI）的166名四年级和五年级学生进行了一项调查。该调查包括14个关于学生对种植治疗、当前本科种植课程以及他们未来计划的看法的问题。
141名学生（85%）回复了调查。牙种植被认为是修复下颌第一磨牙缺失和上颌前牙缺失的首选治疗方法，但不适用于无牙下颌。大多数学生认为本科教育期间牙种植学的主题涵盖不足，有兴趣学习更多内容，并计划将种植纳入他们未来的执业范围。
FD-UI的牙科学生意识到种植治疗是替代单颗缺失牙的一种修复选择。有必要在全国范围内进行讨论，以便在印度尼西亚的本科牙科教育中引入全面的牙种植学课程。
