Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Dental implants enhance the self-assurance and overall well-being of individuals by providing oral comfort during mastication and a notable degree of contentment. The objectives of the present study were to assess patients\' perception of opting or non-opting for dental implants as a replacement for missing teeth and to determine the correlation between various factors and perceived demand for dental implant treatment.
METHODS: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 214 partially edentulous individuals aged between 21 and 50 years. These patients sought treatment to replace their missing teeth. The participants were provided with detailed information regarding various options for replacing their missing teeth, including removable prostheses, fixed partial dentures, and dental implants. The researchers recorded and evaluated the reasons behind the patients\' decision to opt for or decline dental implant treatment using the chi-squared test. Categorical variables were summarized as percentages (n %). The association between variables and binary data was examined using point biserial correlation, whereas, for continuous data, the Pearson correlation coefficient was employed.
RESULTS: About 65 (30.4%) patients opted for dental implant treatment and 149 (69.6%) patients did not opt for dental implant treatment. Missing teeth were found in 120 women (56.08%) and 94 men (43.92%). The main reason for seeking dental implant treatment was the need for improvement in functions such as chewing in 65 (100%) patients, followed by the need for improvement in oral health in 57 (88%), aesthetics in 54 (83%), need for bone and adjacent teeth preservation in 52 (80%), and durability of dental implants in 46 (71%) patients. The main reasons for not seeking dental implant treatment and opting for fixed prostheses other than dental implants or removable prostheses cost 149 (100%), fear of surgery 132 (91%), underlying health issues 121 (81%), lack of knowledge about dental implants 120 (80.5%), and time management issues 92 (62%). Gender, age, and number of missing teeth showed a negative correlation, whereas level of education, social status, and oral health awareness showed a positive correlation with the perceived need for dental implant treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: Dental implant treatment was preferred by 30.4% of patients, which was influenced by gender, sex, level of education, social status, awareness of oral health, and number of missing teeth. Cost, fear of surgery, underlying medical conditions, lack of knowledge, and time management are some reasons for not opting for dental implant treatment.

摘要：
背景：牙种植体通过在咀嚼过程中提供口腔舒适性和显著的满足感来增强个体的自我保证和整体幸福感。本研究的目的是评估患者对选择或不选择种植牙作为缺失牙齿替代的看法，并确定各种因素与种植牙治疗需求之间的相关性。
方法：对214名年龄在21至50岁之间的部分无牙个体进行了横断面观察研究。这些患者寻求治疗以替换其缺失的牙齿。向参与者提供了有关替换缺失牙齿的各种选择的详细信息，包括可移动的假肢,固定局部义齿，和牙科植入物。研究人员使用卡方检验记录并评估了患者决定选择或拒绝种植牙治疗的原因。分类变量总结为百分比(n%)。变量和二进制数据之间的关联使用点双材料相关检查，然而,对于连续数据，采用皮尔逊相关系数。
结果：约65例（30.4%）患者选择了种植牙治疗，149例（69.6%）患者没有选择种植牙治疗。在120名女性（56.08％）和94名男性（43.92％）中发现了牙齿缺失。寻求种植牙治疗的主要原因是需要改善65名(100%)患者的咀嚼等功能，其次是需要改善口腔健康的57(88%)，美学在54（83%），需要保留骨骼和相邻牙齿52（80％），46例(71%)患者种植牙的耐久性。不寻求种植牙治疗和选择种植牙或可移除假体以外的固定假体的主要原因花费149(100%),对手术的恐惧132（91％），潜在的健康问题121（81%），缺乏关于种植牙的知识120（80.5%），和时间管理问题92（62%）。性别,年龄,和牙齿缺失的数量呈负相关，而教育水平，社会地位,口腔健康意识与种植牙治疗的感知需求呈正相关。
结论：30.4%的患者首选种植牙治疗，受性别影响，性别,教育水平,社会地位,口腔健康意识，和牙齿缺失的数量。成本,对手术的恐惧,潜在的医疗状况，缺乏知识,和时间管理是不选择种植牙治疗的一些原因。
