本次调查旨在了解患者对牙种植体作为缺失牙修复治疗选择的认知情况。
本横断面研究针对483名前来牙科学院的受试者，采用自行填写的结构化问卷进行。问卷通过预调查进行了预测试。使用SPSS 16.0版本对数据进行分析。采用学生t检验和方差分析作为显著性检验，p < 0.05。
在483名参与者中，男性290名，女性193名。约41.7%的受试者知晓牙种植体，但仍很少有人（4.1%）接受过该治疗。牙科专业人员是关于种植体信息的主要来源，其次是媒体，且认知水平随教育程度提高。该治疗费用高昂是未接受治疗的主要因素（35.2%）。
超过一半的参与者不了解种植体，且很少有人接受过该治疗。这也表明需要向患者提供更多关于这种治疗方式的信息。因此，牙科教育对于培养民众对牙种植体的积极态度是必要的。如何引用本文：萨哈A、杜塔S、维贾亚V、拉吉坎特N。恰蒂斯加尔邦患者对种植体作为缺失牙修复治疗选择的认知。《国际口腔健康杂志》2013年；5(5):48 - 52。
