An original research study
Keywords:
implant, surgical template, awareness, knowledgeAbstract
Aim: Accurate treatment planning for implant which considers anatomical factors and prosthetic needs is essential to guarantee a predictable therapy. The aim of this study was to assess the current knowledge and awareness about surgical template among general dental practitioner in kanpur, India. Materials & Methods: This study was entirely attempted on a cross sectional idea. It also used the rational usage of questionnaire. However, after considering some essential aspects, this number was lastly reduced to 100. Authors completed the study by close ended questionnaire containing questions about the present knowledge and awareness about surgical template. Response was recorded and data was processed statistically to evaluate the real-time knowledge and awareness level. Results: Statistical analysis was done using statistical software ‘Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS)’. The recorded data was subjected to suitable statistical tests to obtain p values, mean, standard deviation, standard error an 95% CI. P ≤ 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. 27 practitioners were unaware of the usage of surgical template. 94 practitioners think that UG dental curriculum is inadequate regarding surgical template. 60 practitioners think that surgical template must be made mandatory for all dental institutions.
