There is a lack of evidence in the attitude and prescribing practice of implantologists in dental implant post-operative assessment; therefore, the aims of this cross-sectional study were to investigate these habits and the knowledge about radiographic aspect of retrograde peri-implantitis (RPI) among Italian implantologists. A questionnaire was sent via email to dentists randomly selected from the register of implantology and oral surgery societies. It included three questions: the preferred X-ray after implant placement, the timing of post-operative assessment and the knowledge of the RPI radiographic representation. A final sample of 434 implantologists was included in the study. The majority of them (84.3%) perform a periapical X-ray as control radiograph and picked the correct radiographic representation of RPI (74.3%), without statistically significant differences ( > 0.05) for sex, age, years of working practice and number of implants placed per year. Just 47.7% of dentists perform a control radiograph at prostheses delivery, to establish a proper baseline. A statistically significant difference ( < 0.05) was detectable only for the number of implants placed per year, with dentists placing > 80 implants selecting the correct choice. To the best of authors' knowledge, this is the first study to report data on attitude of implantologists in radiographic imaging after implant placement.
在牙种植体术后评估中，种植专科医生的态度和处方实践方面缺乏证据；因此，这项横断面研究的目的是调查意大利种植专科医生的这些习惯以及他们对逆行性种植体周炎（RPI）影像学表现的了解。通过电子邮件向从种植学和口腔外科学会登记册中随机选择的牙医发送了一份问卷。问卷包括三个问题：种植体植入后首选的X线检查、术后评估的时间以及对RPI影像学表现的了解。该研究纳入了434名种植专科医生的最终样本。他们中的大多数人（84.3%）进行根尖周X线检查作为对照X光片，并能正确识别RPI的影像学表现（74.3%），在性别、年龄、工作年限和每年植入的种植体数量方面无统计学显著差异（>0.05）。只有47.7%的牙医在义齿交付时进行对照X光片检查，以建立合适的基线。仅在每年植入的种植体数量方面可检测到统计学显著差异（<0.05），每年植入超过80颗种植体的牙医做出了正确选择。据作者所知，这是第一项报告种植专科医生在种植体植入后影像学成像方面态度数据的研究。
