| description | Objectives: Implant
therapy has gained wide popularity in the recent years. A complete information
on implant therapy should be provided to
patient by the dentist. The aim of present study is to evaluate the knowledge,
attitude, source of information and
acceptance of dental implants among the general population in the Southern region of Saudi Arabia.Methods:
A total of 712 patients were randomly selected from the OPD of dental hospitals
across the southern region of Saudi
Arabia. The designed questionnaire comprised of 15 open-ended questions. Only Saudi national population was selected
for the survey. The questionnaire was divided into demographic data, knowledge,
attitude and participant’s acceptance towards implant therapy. The collected
data were statistically analyzed using the
Statistical Package for Social Sciences.Results:
Out of 712 participants, 675 complete the survey. 59.1% were male and 41.9%
were females with an average age of 39.6
years old. All variables except for age
showed statistically significant
difference in the knowledge about implant among the study groups (p<0.05). The knowledge score was directly related to
education and professional status of the participants. Majority of the patients
(66%) with a history of implant therapy
were satisfied with the placed implant. 41% of the participants reported high
cost as a limiting factor for selecting an implant
treatment.
Conclusions: Population
from the southern region of Saudi Arabia
has moderate knowledge about dental
implant treatment. Dentists were found to be the most important source of
information to the patient. The major barrier for not selecting implant
treatment was the high cost of the
implant therapy. |
