Oral implant treatment is a rapidly growing field in dentistry. As public awareness and demand increases, dental practitioners are becoming more involved in the provision of oral implant treatment. This study explores the education, training, knowledge and practices of dental practitioners related to oral implant treatment in Australia.
What will you be asked to do?

What are the possible risks?

No personal information about you or your practice is required other than basic demographics such as level of clinical practice and education background. However, there is an option to provide your email address at the end of the survey if you would like to be involved in further parts of this research.
