Abstract
Background: This study investigates the efficacy of nano-coatings for enhancing osseointegration on dental implant surfaces, aiming to address gaps in current knowledge regarding implant success rates and patient outcomes. The primary objective is to assess participants' knowledge levels, attitudes, and practices regarding nano-coatings, coupled with quantitative measures such as pain scores post-implantation.
Material & Methods: A prospective cohort study design was employed at Liaquat College of Medicine and Dentistry Karachi over a duration of 12 months. The study population consisted of patients aged between 35-60 years requiring dental implants, with a sample size of 100 participants determined through consecutive sampling. Variables included level of knowledge (on a Likert scale), age, pain scores (visual analog scale), and demographic factors. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were planned to summarize data and test hypotheses regarding nano-coatings' impact on osseointegration.
Results: The quantitative analysis revealed positive perceptions among participants regarding nano-coatings' benefits, with the majority agreeing or strongly agreeing with their efficacy. Pain scores post-implantation was predominantly in the moderate range, highlighting the importance of pain management strategies. Challenges such as cost implications and technical expertise requirements were noted in qualitative responses, emphasizing practical considerations.
Conclusion: In conclusion, this study underscores the potential of nano-coatings to enhance osseointegration on dental implant surfaces, with positive participant perceptions and dental professionals' attitudes. Practical challenges exist, necessitating further research and collaborative efforts to address barriers and facilitate the adoption of nano-coatings in implant dentistry, ultimately improving patient outcomes and treatment success rates.
