Implantology is an emerging field of science, although there are not many subjects who opt for this treatment modality. Replacement of missing or lost teeth with dental prostheses supported by oral implants has been accepted and received positive evaluations from patients who have undergone implant treatment. Today, implant-supported restorations can be considered the treatment of choice from the perspective of occlusal support, preservation of adjacent teeth, and avoidance of a removable partial denture. Currently, dental implants are widely accepted as a prosthetic treatment of completely or partially edentulous patients. This led to widespread acceptance and popularity of dental implants within the dental professional community.
The aim of this study was to evaluate knowledge, attitude, and awareness of dental implants in residents of Uttarakhand.
A total population of 500 subjects were randomly selected and evaluated based on filled questionnaire responses.
A low level of knowledge was observed on analyzing the filled responses among the studied population.
General public should be made aware on dental implants as treatment modality along with the focus on increasing the cost feasibility.
种植牙科学是一个新兴领域，尽管选择这种治疗方式的人并不多。用口腔种植体支持的假牙替代缺失或脱落的牙齿已被接受，并得到了接受种植治疗患者的积极评价。如今，从咬合支持、保留邻牙以及避免使用可摘局部义齿的角度来看，种植体支持的修复体可被视为首选治疗方法。目前，牙种植体已被广泛接受为完全或部分无牙患者的修复治疗方法。这使得牙种植体在牙科专业领域得到了广泛认可和普及。
本研究的目的是评估北阿坎德邦居民对牙种植体的知识、态度和认知。
随机选取500名受试者，根据填写的问卷回复进行评估。
分析研究人群中填写的回复后发现知识水平较低。
应让公众了解牙种植体这种治疗方式，同时注重提高成本可行性。
