Abstract:
The integration of immediate implants into routine dental care varies considerably across different regions and practice settings. Therefore, it is of interest to describe theknowledge and attitudes of dentists towards immediate implant placements. A total of 225 eligible participants were required to have at least one year of clinical experience post-qualification. Participants were aged between 30-40 years (44%), followed by those aged 41-50 years (29%) and under 30 years (18). The majority of participants (72%) agreed or strongly agreed that immediate implants enhance patient satisfaction, while only 28% did not share this view. It is concluded that while the concept of immediate implant placement is widely recognized among dentists, substantial gaps remain in both knowledge and clinical confidence, particularly among general practitioners.
