Knowledge & Awareness Of Dental Implants Among Undergraduate Dental Students In Nadiad

Introduction: Since dental graduates will inevitably become dentists, it is imperative that they possess a comprehensive understanding of the most recent advancements in dental technology, particularly in relation to tooth replacement. These aspiring dentists have a duty to inform the public about emerging dental technologies. In order to determine how many dental students are aware of dental implants, this study was conducted. Materials and Methods: In order to determine how many dental students in their first and second years at a Faculty of Dental Science in Nadiad, were aware of dental implants, we conducted a cross-sectional study. The study comprised 200 dentistry students in total. Five questions about implants were included in self-explanatory questionnaire forms that were utilized for evaluation. The results were displayed as a percentage of various responses. Results: This study provides data on the knowledge and awareness of first- and second-year dental undergraduates regarding dental implants as a means of treating missing teeth. 187 of the 200 students who took part in the survey returned it fully completed. Of these, just 11 (5.88%) were ignorant of implants, while the remaining 176 (94.12%) were. The remaining questions were asked of these 176 subjects, and the percentage was computed. Conclusion: This study suggests that in order to ensure that future dentists are well-informed and self-assured when it comes to dental implant therapy, there should be more instruction on dental implants taught to first- and second-year dental students
