Due to the increase of implant treatments in daily practice, graduates should be well acquainted with appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic knowledge in implantology. This study sought to assess the knowledge and attitude of undergraduate students towards the benefits of their courses in the implant dentistry curriculum.
This survey study was performed on all senior dental students at Pardis International Campus, School of Dentistry of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire containing various items on knowledge and attitude. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were already approved. Collected data were coded, entered in Microsoft Excel 2019, and analysed by t-test (α = .05).
Forty questionnaires were filled out by 28 female and 12 male students. Only 7.5% and 12.5% of students reported that they had adequate knowledge to conduct the surgical and prosthetic steps of dental implant treatment, respectively. The majority of students had a positive attitude towards the quality of theoretical education. However, less than 50% of them perceived the same about their practical education. No significant difference existed between male and female students regarding their responses to the knowledge and attitude questions (p = .458 and p = .288, respectively). Ninety percent of the students felt the need for further education regarding dental implant treatment in the undergraduate curriculum.
Despite the satisfaction of the theoretical knowledge, most senior students believed that they did not achieve adequate expertise to practice after graduation and were willing to receive further practical training in implantology.
由于日常临床中种植治疗的增加，毕业生应充分熟悉种植学方面适当的诊断和治疗知识。本研究旨在评估本科学生对其牙种植学课程益处的知识和态度。
本调查研究针对德黑兰医科大学牙科学院帕尔迪斯国际校区的所有高年级牙科学生进行。通过一份包含关于知识和态度的各种项目的问卷进行数据收集。该问卷的有效性和可靠性已得到认可。收集到的数据进行编码，录入Microsoft Excel 2019，并通过t检验进行分析（α = 0.05）。
28名女生和12名男生填写了40份问卷。分别只有7.5%和12.5%的学生报告称他们具备进行牙种植治疗手术和修复步骤的足够知识。大多数学生对理论教育质量持积极态度。然而，不到50%的学生对实践教育有同样的看法。在对知识和态度问题的回答上，男女生之间不存在显著差异（p分别为0.458和0.288）。90%的学生认为本科课程中需要关于牙种植治疗的进一步教育。
尽管对理论知识感到满意，但大多数高年级学生认为他们毕业后没有获得足够的专业技能来实践，并且愿意接受种植学方面的进一步实践培训。
