ABSTRACT
Implant treatment today is highly predictable and provides valid restorative options for the completely or partially edentulous patient. In Japan, many dental care facilities have incorporated implant treatment, and such treatment is no longer rare. For predoctoral students, the educational environment related to implants is not always applicable in present clinical settings. In this article, we describe the implant training program developed at our university for predoctoral education, and we report the changes in student opinions regarding implant treatment by comparing pre- and post-training opinions. The newly developed models for implant training were effective in increasing student understanding that implant treatment is one prosthetic option for restoring missing teeth. In a survey of predoctoral students, responses indicating negative opinions toward implant treatment decreased after training, and responses indicating positive opinions increased. These findings indicated that this training was effective in deepening student understanding of implant treatment.
