Knowledge and Self-Confidence of Dental Students and Newly Graduated Dentists About Dental Implants: An Online Survey
Abstract
Introduction: Dental implant treatment is no longer a privileged method for rehabilitating missing teeth. Dental students and newly graduated dentists should have enough knowledge to direct patients to the proper treatment method. Our study aims to evaluate dental students' and newly graduated dentists' knowledge and self-confidence levels.
Materials and Method: This study is conducted as an online survey. The participants were invited by open invitation posts on various social media applications. The survey has fifteen questions; two are about demographic features, and the remaining thirteen are about dental implants.
Results: 259 participants have valid answers—45% feel moderately knowledgeable about implant procedures. Males were significantly feeling informed about dental implants. Female participants think there is a significantly higher need for a specialist to do dental implant surgery than males.
Conclusion: It is necessary to increase the theoretical and practical courses in faculties. Thus, dental students and newly graduated dentists can provide the required knowledge to guide patients in choosing the appropriate treatment method.
