Moreover, the study determined that only 18 per cent felt confident about the information they had about the treatment. In the study, the researchers investigated preop- erative information levels, percep- tions and expectations regarding implant therapy via a questionnaire. Responses from 277 patients were obtained during 2014 and 2015 in three different locations in China (Hong Kong, Sichuan and Jiangsu). The analyses established that about one third of the participants had mistaken assumptions about dental implants. The study, titled “What do patients expect from treatment with dental implants? Perceptions, expectations and mis- conceptions: A multicenter study”, was published online ahead of print on 23 March in the Clinical Oral Im- plantsResearchjournal.
