General public awareness of dental implants is limited, particularly regarding material and longevity. Patients seeking implant consultations possess greater knowledge, highlighting a need for improved public education on this dental procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Public Health
  • Patient Education

Background:

  • Patient knowledge significantly impacts treatment outcomes.
  • Understanding public awareness of dental implants is crucial for effective patient education strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare general public knowledge of oral implant treatment with that of patients seeking implant consultations.
  • To identify information sources and assess the accuracy of patient knowledge regarding dental implants.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 126 adult patients.
  • Two groups: dental emergency patients (general population) and implant consultation patients.
  • Questionnaires assessed implant knowledge and information sources; statistical analysis using the χ² test.

Main Results:

  • The general population group demonstrated less knowledge about dental implants, especially concerning material and longevity.
  • Patients seeking consultations received information from more reliable sources (dentists) compared to the general group (friends/relatives).
  • Cost was a significant barrier for both groups (89% and 90%).

Conclusions:

  • There is a clear need for enhanced public education regarding dental implants.
  • Targeted educational initiatives are necessary to improve patient understanding of implant material, longevity, and benefits.
