Abstract

Introduction: As dental implants become more widely used, there is a need to raise awareness about their potential complications. Professionals in the dental and medical fields must take responsibility for educating the public, and future professionals in these fields will play a key role in this effort.

Methodology: Dental and medical students were polled through online questionnaire, with questions posed in multiple-choice format, to gauge their knowledge of dental implants.

Result: When medical students were compared with dental students, it concluded that the dental students have more knowledge about implants and its complication.

Conclusion: The statistical analysis revealed that the knowledge about basics of implantology and implant complications was good amongst dental students than medical students which was statistically significant.

Keywords: Dental implants; implant complications; questionnaire study.
