Abstract
Aim: To assess the general awareness of the various treatment modalities for replacement of missing teeth among individuals and their choice of treatment. Methodology: A survey was conducted among 400 randomly selected patients reported to dental college and hospitalfor various treatments. A self-designed questionnaire was prepared and the awareness, knowledge and perception towards the prosthodontics rehabilitation were assessed. Results: 95% of patients both male and female were aware that the teeth have to be replaced and there was a positive attitude of patients towards prosthetic replacement. It was seen that there is lack of awareness about implants among patients as most of them knew about the fixed and removable prosthesis. Conclusion: Very little number of subjects was aware of dental implants. Knowledge regarding implants should be improved by conducting more number of awareness programmes by the dentists.
