A survey of U.S. dentists showed that dental implant use increased 73 percent between 1986 and 1990. More than half of all implants are placed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Most dentists who place implants are not affiliated with professional implant organizations; training for implant placement varies widely.
一项对美国牙医的调查显示，1986年至1990年间，牙种植体的使用量增长了73%。超过一半的种植体是由口腔颌面外科医生植入的。大多数进行种植体植入的牙医并未加入专业的种植体组织；种植体植入的培训差异很大。
