In the present era, dental implant is most recent and promising treatment modality for tooth replacement. However it’s awareness is disputable. Hence, the aim of the study was to evaluate the knowledge of patients and private dental practitioners (PDP’s) towards implant dentistry and how the dentists assess, acquire and integrate this into everyday practice. Epidemiological study was conducted among patients who attended the OPD of MGV’s KBH Dental College & Hospital and private dental practitioners in Nashik. A total of 472 patients and 241dentists were given a separate self-administered structured questionnaire and was asked to record their responses. Simple percentage evaluation was done for the responses obtained. Among patients, only 31% patients heard about dental implant as tooth replacement option which shows the lack of awareness regarding dental implant. Most of PDP’s (92%) who advocated dental implant therapy, are not satisfied about their knowledge about the implant at BDS level and need more training at internship (44%) and 4th year (23%).This survey depicts that although most of the PDP’s & patients are interested in implant as an option for replacing tooth, but cost is the major inhibiting factor. Also, implementing basic knowledge & skill of implant dentistry at Under Graduate level will go a long way in developing this treatment modality.
