On quality of implant shows 64.9% and 56.4% on comfort and function which indicates it as a good quality, 64.9% poor availability and 49.6% awareness and knowledge. While inferentially, using Pearson Chi-Square showed a significant relationship of 177.552; df = 16 @ P=0.05 between profession of respondents and knowledge of dental implant materials/devices types while using ANOVA showed a significant relationship with F =42.147; df =4 @ P=.05; knowledge of dental implant materials and assessment of dental implant to aesthetics on oral cavity, F =77.760; df =4 @ P=.05 and knowledge of dental implant materials and assessment of dental implant to retention on oral cavity, F =54.985; df =4 @ P=.05.

“…Despite growing trends of dental implantology worldwide, dentists in Nigeria and most parts of sub-Saharan West Africa are significantly deficient in knowledge, skills, and expertise involved in dental implant therapy. Akeredolu, et al [29] studied the knowledge and proficiency of dental implant treatment amongst dentists in Nigeria and reported that 98.7% of dentists had never used dental implants as a method of tooth restoration. A similar study that evaluated the practical knowledge of dentists reported similar findings.…”

“…Dental Implant restoration is not cheap. The cost borne on both patients and clinicians can sometimes be burdensome [29]. Health in Nigeria for instance is inadequately funded and considerably below average when juxtaposed with the health budgets of most countries with a similar population.…”

Objective: This systematic review aims to examine the spectrum of research studies including cross-cultural and international studies that have focused on weight and health-related quality of life in children and adolescents. Methods: Following the PRISMA guidelines, studies published in the past 25 years from 1995 until 2020 that pertain to weight and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children and adolescents were identified through the use of Pubmed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and PsycInfo databases. Two authors independently conducted a focused analysis and reached a final consensus on which studies to include using specific selection criteria followed by a quality check of the studies, resulting in the final selection of 25 studies. Results: The selected studies particularized the level of impaired quality of life among normal-weight, overweight and obese children and adolescents, and distinctly found that higher participant weight was correlated with a lower HRQoL score. Conclusion: Studies showed a significant negative correlation between weight and HRQoL. Multiple types of prevention and treatment programs are critically needed to provide resources to improve quality of life in overweight and obese children and adolescents.

“…Implant therapy although accepted as a predictable treatment option for replacing missing teeth [10] is still yet to be a readily available treatment in developing economies like Nigeria. Some studies have been done in this clime as regard implant treatment of patients with good outcome [2,11] however, these studies were done majorly in the South western region, there still appears to be paucity of studies in other regions hence the need for this study which characterised the types of implants and implant supported restorations placed in a tertiary hospital in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) of Nigeria as well as determine the outcome of the implant treatment.…”
