AustriaDespite high patient satisfaction rates, dental implants suffer from a poor reputation in Austria. According to a study commissioned by the Austrian Society for Implantology (ÖGI), 93% of implant users are satisfied with the aesthetic results, and 95% with their functionality. However, many patients lack sufficient information about implants, with 43% stating they have little or no knowledge about them and 40% unsure if their dentist offers the treatment. The ÖGI attributes this to inadequate communication between dentists and patients. To address this, the organization launched the podcast 'Implantalk' to provide accessible, evidence-based information about implants and dental health. Dental implants are described as the gold standard for replacing missing teeth due to their long-term benefits compared to alternatives like bridges or prostheses, which may require grinding down healthy teeth or cause additional strain.
