Dental Implant complications, dental professionals, knowledge

INTRODUCTION: As implant dentistry becomes a popular treatment option for missing teeth, it is crucial to evaluate the level of awareness and understanding among dental professionals regarding the potential complications that can arise. Despite the high success rate and durability of dental implants, the associated complications can compromise patient care which highlights the need for dental professionals to have knowledge and awareness of these issues. AIM: This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge and awareness of dental professionals regarding dental implant complications. METHODOLOGY: This study utilized a self-structured questionnaire to assess the level of knowledge among dental professionals regarding dental implant complications. The list of variables included factors that contribute to complications, early and delayed, mechanical, soft and hard tissue, aesthetic, and reversible complications. The questionnaire was circulated using Google forms and the collected data will be subjected to descriptive statistics. RESULTS: The study surveyed 144 dental professionals actively practicing implant dentistry, comprising 60 males and 84 females. The majority (89.5%) demonstrated moderate knowledge of dental implant complications. Postgraduate professionals showed significantly higher knowledge than general dentists. No significant gender-based differences were found. Most participants (72%) had less than 2 years of implant dentistry experience. Common complications identified included postoperative infection, screw loosening, soft tissue complications, and aesthetic issues. Knowledge variations were observed based on educational levels and institutions. Reversible complications were poorly understood by 77% of participants. Overall, the study highlights knowledge gaps and variations among dental professionals in implant dentistry. CONCLUSION: This study sheds light on the knowledge landscape among dental professionals engaged in implant dentistry. While a majority demonstrated a moderate understanding of complications, significant knowledge gaps were identified, particularly in reversible complications. Educational levels and institutional differences played a role in the variability of knowledge. These findings underscore the importance of targeted educational interventions to enhance the understanding of dental implant complications among practitioners, ultimately contributing to improved patient care and treatment outcomes in the field of implant dentistry.
