“…The patients' main source of dental implant information in this study was reported to be the dentist, similar to the results of other studies (Derks et al, ; Pommer et al, ; Tepper et al, ; Yao et al, ). Their social network such as colleagues, friends, or family members was the second most common source of dental implant information (17.5%), which has also been reported to exert a positive influence in seeking dental implant treatment (Kashbour et al, ).…”

“…Most of the present study's patients underestimated the risks or complications of dental implant treatment. Compared with the pre‐therapeutical data from Yao et al (), our patients responded with a higher frequency of misperception on this point. It is possible that having had a relatively short observation period post‐treatment, they have not yet experienced some of the most frequent complications, which could affect their perceptions.…”

“…Their social network such as colleagues, friends, or family members was the second most common source of dental implant information (17.5%), which has also been reported to exert a positive influence in seeking dental implant treatment (Kashbour et al, ). However, social circle influence has also been connected with misperceptions and unrealistic expectations or understating risks (Yao et al, ). Surprisingly, a minority of our patients who reported social media as their main source of information harbored more realistic perceptions about dental implants.…”

“…Studies have shown that patients' perceptions and attitudes toward dental implants can influence their oral hygiene care and adherence to maintenance programs (Baracat, Teixeira, dos Santos, da Cunha Vde, & Marchini, 2011;Wang, Gao, & Lo, 2015). Although the majority of patients appear to harbor realistic perceptions prior to treatment with dental implants, many still maintain inaccurate perceptions and unrealistic expectations (Yao et al, 2017). Furthermore, high dropout rates from maintenance programs have been reported (Tey, Phillips, & Tan, 2017).…”

Objective The aims of this study were to evaluate and analyze the factors affecting patients' perceptions and satisfaction after receiving implant treatment. Material and methods Questionnaires were mailed to 691 patients who had completed implant treatment for at least 6 months. The questionnaire consisted of 23 items, including demographic data, seven items on perceptions, and nine items on satisfaction. Results Of the returned 382 questionnaires, 188 and 194 were from patients treated by postgraduate students and specialists, respectively. Dentists were the most common main source of implant information (55.8%). Although 90% of the patients felt that they were well informed about implant treatment, some inaccurate perceptions remained: 18% believed that “Dental implants require less care than natural teeth,” 35.6% that “Dental implants last longer than natural teeth,” and 75% that “Treatment with dental implants has no risks or complications.” Approximately 90% of the patients were satisfied with their chewing, phonetics, aesthetic outcome, and dental implant treatment; however, some were dissatisfied with the cost. Although gender, age, educational level, main source of information, implant number, and implant position had some impact on patients' perceptions and satisfaction; monthly income did not. The clinicians' expertise affected patients' perceptions, but not satisfaction. Conclusions Although most patients had accurate perceptions with regards to implant treatment, some misperceptions about the need for a maintenance care still exist after treatment. Most patients were satisfied with their treatment outcome regardless of monthly income and the clinicians' expertise level.

“…Recent evidence indicates that the unwillingness to have dental implants may be due to lack of education about the procedure and therefore increasing knowledge may improve the acceptance of implants . Specifically, patients' expectations of dental implants are unrealistic and inaccurate . In addition to expectations, other barriers to dental implants include cost, psychological reasons and concerns regarding the surgical intervention.…”

Providing an adequate education about benefits and risks of receiving dental implants does not change the attitude towards dental implants. The source of information/messenger does influence attitudes towards implants. If the person delivering the education and information is a relative or a known medical person, the person's attitude is more likely to change as compared to people receiving the information from an unrelated person.

Background To evaluate the effect of different communication strategies on comprehension and recall of information about factors associated to peri‐implantitis. Methods A prospective, randomized controlled trial was conducted in consecutive patients diagnosed with peri‐implantitis. The sample was divided into three groups according to the communication strategy used: Test group 1—Written communication via leaflet with visual aids (L‐VA); Test group 2—Written communication via leaflet with no visual aids (L‐NVA); and control group—only verbal communication with no leaflet (NL). A questionnaire assessing comprehension at baseline (T0) and recall at 3 months (T1) and 6 months (T2) was administered following the fuzzy trace theory with a combination of 11 “gist” and seven “verbatim” items. The “health belief model” dimensions were further examined to test the influence of the communication strategy upon perceived severity, susceptibility, benefits, barriers, self‐efficacy, and behavioral intentions. Results Ninety‐nine patients that fulfilled the eligibility criteria were included. Gist and verbatim comprehension of the control, risk factors, and preventive measures for peri‐implantitis overall was significantly greater in the test groups, in particular in L‐VA at T0 (n = 99). Nevertheless, recall was not influenced by the communication strategy at T1 (n = 85) or T2 (n = 78). No significant differences were noted between groups or as a function of time for any of the “health belief model” constructs with the sole exception of perceived barriers (P = 0.045), which proved lower in the test groups. Conclusion The comprehension of information about factors associated to peri‐implantitis can be efficiently improved by using written communicative strategies, in particular when supplemented with visual aids. Nevertheless, this approach failed to show effectiveness in modulating recall or in changing behavioral intentions over follow‐up (NCT04543604).

What do patients expect from treatment with Dental Implants? Perceptions, expectations and misconceptions: a multicenter study

Abstract: The majority of patients in this study presented relatively realistic perceptions. However, an alarming portion of the sample presented with inaccurate perceptions and unrealistic expectations, which the dental team would need to diagnose and correct prior to initiating implant treatment.
