Thus, a total of 35 dental institutions were selected, which included 2800 residents. A printed questionnaire consisting of 15 questions, which assessed the level and source of information regarding implants, was prepared and distributed.RESULTS:
A total of 2800 questionnaires were posted of which 2041 responses were received (response rate was 72.89%). This study shows that 81.1% of the residents believed that they were not provided sufficient information and a whopping 91.7% of them coveted more information about implants in their undergraduate curriculum.CONCLUSION:
