Background: Dental implant is an artificial root inserted in the jawbone, which restores a lost tooth so that it looks, feels, and is fit like a natural tooth. It is considered to be the best treatment option for single or multiple missing teeth. The aim of this study was to assess the awareness of patients about dental implants as an alternative treatment in Congolese patients. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in two institutions namely, CBCO Bandal and Ngaliema Clinic, from August to December 2017. A total of 450 respondents have participated in the survey. A printed questionnaire comprised of 20 questions in order to evaluate patients dental awareness was used. Gender, level of education, awareness of dental implant and dental implants therapy, sources of information and the expectation about the sources of information were assessed. The collected data were entered in Microsoft Excel 2010 and analyzed by SPSS (IBM SPSS 20.0, Chicago, IL, USA) software. Results: Out of 450 participants, 14.4% were aware of dental implants. The main disadvantage of dental implant was the high cost. When asked about the anchorage, 86% didn't know where the dental implant was anchored. Ninety-two percent didn't know for how long an implant last, 6% thought that dental implant last for a lifetime. When patients were asked about the sources of information, the dentist (5%) and media (5.5%) were the main sources of information. The majority of patients (88.4%) would like to get information about dental implants from their dentist. Conclusion: Dentists should be more involved in the promotion of information about dental implants as a treatment modality to replace missing teeth.

“…A high educational attainment resulted in more knowledge about dental implants. 4,6,15,18,20 In this study, the patients were examined face to face by our investigators, and hence the results were more accurate as compared with other methods of data collection, such as using mails, handouts, or phone interviews. The percentage of the subjects was high and represented more than 80% regarding the knowledge about dental implants as treatment option for the replacement of missing teeth among both groups.…”

Aims: To assess the awareness, knowledge, and information sources regarding dental implants as an option of treatment to replace missing teeth among patients in Jazan Province, Saudi Arabia. Materials and methods: The current study consisted of 14 questions used to assess the patients' awareness, expectations and level of knowledge of dental implants. Three categories of questions were used, with the first one related to the patients' knowledge and options for replacement of missing teeth, the second about dental implants and their providers, and the third on the techniques, materials, care, and durability of dental implants. The collected data was analyzed using Chi-square tests, and P values less than 0.005 were considered significant. Results: A total of 380 subjects were divided into two groups, medical (40.3%) or non-medical (59.7%) related. We found that 85% and 71.0% of the medical and non-medical subjects, respectively know the importance of replacement of missing teeth, while 50% had known the different types of dental implants with no significance (P< .001) between the two groups. Dentists were the sources of the information (43.3% and 34.8% for the medical and non-medical groups respectively). Around 50% of the medical subjects thought that dental implants came with a screw compared with 36.6% of non-medical subjects with value of P .025. In total, 60%-70% of respondents from both groups answered that dental implants should be provided by specialists only. Around 29% of all patients cited "lifetime" as the survival period of implants. Also, 52%-77% of the respondents related the implant site to the "the jaw bone," with significant difference of P .000. Conclusions: The awareness and knowledge of the subjects were acceptable with higher percentage among respondents in the medical group. Dentists followed by friends were the main sources of information for dental implants. Dental implants are considered as the best choice for replacement of missing teeth with excellent durability and need of much more special care than natural teeth.
