This study aimed to assess dental students’ understanding and perspectives on the use of immediate implant placement as a solution for replacing missing teeth. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 300 dental surgeons (150 male and 150 female), aged between 20 and 55 years, to assess their awareness and knowledge regarding immediate implant placement for tooth replacement. Participants were provided with a clear explanation of the study’s objectives, and written informed consent was obtained. The study utilized a simple random sampling method to select participants. A structured, self-administered questionnaire was created to gather the data, which were subsequently analyzed using both descriptive and analytical statistical methods. The results showed that 63% of respondents (189 individuals) were familiar with dental implants as a treatment option for missing teeth. 65% of participants agreed that implants generally have a longer lifespan than other forms of dental replacement. Regarding the potential for implant failure, 73% acknowledged this possibility. Furthermore, 89% of respondents believed that dental implant treatments should be included in insurance coverage in the country. Overall, the study showed that dental professionals possess a solid understanding of tooth replacement options, with dental implants viewed as a viable solution. These findings highlight the need for enhanced education and increased awareness about implants in the dental curriculum to ensure better preparedness among future dentists.
