“…The high cost of prosthetic treatment and the perceived no need to treatment, limit the accessibility of refugees to proper dental services in their home countries and hosting countries [ 5 , 42 ]. As seen in previous studies [ 17 , 43 ] and the current study, cost factor was the major disincentive to implant dentistry. Thus, considering that the costs of the treatment to be covered by NGOS (such as Doctors without borders) would definitely raise the willingness of patients, who are in high need, for receiving the dental implant treatment.…”

Background The popularity of implant dentistry is increasing dramatically, but the success of implant treatment depends on a patient’s knowledge and expectations. Methods This study aimed to assess dental implant knowledge among refugees as a treatment option (n = 565), using face-to-face interviews. The frequency distribution of the responses in general and according to age, gender and education was calculated. Results 81.8% of the interviewees had missing teeth, however, only 26.2% replaced them. 16.6% of participants had never/hardly heard about implants. Females who never heard of implants were more than males (P < 0.001). 51.3% of participants described dental implants as a screw, and only 35.4% knew implants were placed in jawbones. 6.2% of respondents reported that implants required more care than a natural teeth, with 47.6% believing that diseases affect implant success. Friends were the main source of information (61.4%). Highly educated participants showed higher knowledge about implants. Conclusions The surveyed sample revealed limited knowledge about dental implants with high cost being a major obstacle, warranting more strategies to increase awareness and to make implants more affordable for this population.

“…In the study by (Bhat et al, 2019) 93.4% of patients had understood about dental implants, the majority of them between the age group of 26-45 years this could be associated with increased interest and awareness of progression in dental technology among the more youthful generation (Shinawi, 2012). Thus, the age and level of education have affected the indings of this investigation.…”

“…A factor that may affect prosthodontic work is the patients' awareness of the most advanced technologies in aesthetic dentistry (Salinas et al, 2004). People now favour preserving natural teeth, which may forecast a drop in the number of complete dentures with a rise in the number of ixed partial dentures (FPD) (Bhat et al, 2019). The complete replacement has moved to partial tooth replacement.…”

Managing the demand, prevalence, and the design of partial tooth loss is imperative to recognize the prosthetic necessities of the patients. A factor that may affect prosthodontic work is the patients' awareness of the most advanced technologies in aesthetic dentistry. The choice of prosthetic replacement is largely defined by the patient's choice and budgetary status, accessible technology and expertise, as well as the number of missing teeth. The aim of this study was to identify the preference of treatment choice from implant and FPD for the patients treated at a private dental hospital. The sample size consisted of 1122 patients who had FPDs or implants. The case sheets of patients were obtained from the patient record system. The data of each patient was obtained and tabulated. In our study, 54.46 % of patients were male, 45.45 % of patients were female, and 0.09 % belonged to the transgender population. 3.21 % patients belong to the age group of less than 20 years, 54.06 % patients in the age group 21-40 years, 35.5 % patients in the age group 41-60 years and 7.2 % patients in the age group above 60 years. The overall FPD were 809 across all age groups with the maximum in the age group 21-40 years (40.59%). Overall implants were 312 across all age groups with the maximum at 21-40 years (13.47%). It was concluded that there is a significant difference in the preference of patients opting for implant vs FPD, in which FPD was highly opted by the patients. Although removable partial dentures extended to play a significant role in prosthetic teeth replacement, the use of FPDs and dental implants showed an increase in number.

“…4,5 Although the success, survival and failure of dental implants depends on various factors like patient health, gender, lifestyle, oral hygiene and various age groups but complete knowledge about treatment modality for missing teeth replacement must be provided to the patients, as lack of awareness can limit the access of public to existing sources. 6,7 Himachal Pradesh (H.P.) is a hilly state with the population density of 123 per square km with 10.03% residing in urban areas while 89.97% in rural areas.…”

Background: Edentulism is one of the most commonly encountered condition affecting the oral cavity. Dental implants have emerged as a widely accepted prosthetic treatment option. However, lack of public awareness and cost of the treatment act as barriers which limit their applicability. Materials and Methods : A questionnaire-based survey was conducted in five dental colleges in the state of Himachal Pradesh, India to assess the knowledge, attitude and perception of participants regarding the importance of replacing missing teeth and dental implants. Statistical analysis Used: Epi-info software version 7. Results: Majority of the patients were partially edentulous and believed that replacement of missing teeth is important but only half of participants had undergone treatment for the same. A large number of patients were aware about tooth replacement options but the awareness regarding dental implants was scarce. Conclusion:High cost and lack of information seem to be the major barriers in delivering dental implant treatment. Efforts are needed to educate and spread the awareness about implants among general population.
