Résumé

Introduction : Une enquête a été réalisée pour évaluer la formation et l'éducation des praticiens qui pratiquent la dentisterie implantaire dans les secteurs public et privé de la province orientale d'Arabie Saoudite. Cette enquête incluait les préférences pour les divers systèmes d'implant, les complications cliniques et les barrières rencontrées dans la thérapie implantaire.
Matériels et méthode : L'étude s'était déroulée entre novembre 2015 et avril 2016. Un questionnaire auto-administré comportant 22 questions a été distribué à 55 professionnels pratiquant l'implantation dentaire dans les secteurs publics et privés.
Résultats : Parmi les 55 questionnaires envoyés, seuls 38 participants avaient répondu au questionnaire. Parmi eux, 65,8% étaient dans le secteur privé et 34,2% dans le secteur public. La majorité des répondants était des chirurgiens buccaux (44,7%), suivis des omnipraticiens (21,1%), des parodontistes (18,4%) et des prosthodontistes (13,2%). Cinquante-deux pour cent des répondants avaient reçu une formation post-universitaire officielle de pose d'implants, qui était également associée à des cours et/ou des séminaires (50%), et/ou par programme/stage de formation (15,7%). Les systèmes implantaires les plus utilisés étaient Straumann (34,2%), Astra Tech (28,9%) et Zimmer (23,7%) respectivement. La mucite péri-implantaire et la péri-implantite étaient les complications cliniques les plus fréquentes, suivies de l'infection locale, de l'échec de l'ostéo-intégration et de la déhiscence/fenestration.
Conclusion : L'importance de la formation continue est également discutée. Le plus gros obstacle au traitement implantaire était le coût réel des implants pour le patient.

Abstract
Survey of dental implant practices in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia

Introduction: A survey was done to assess the training and education of dental practitioners who participate in implant dentistry in both the public and private sectors in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. This included the preferences for various implant systems, clinical complications and the barriers encountered in implant therapy.
Materials and method: The study was conducted between November 2015 and April 2016. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to a convenient sample of 55 dental implant professionals in public and private healthcare facilities.
Results: Among 55 implant professionals, only 38 participants responded to the questionnaire. Of these, 65.8% were in the private sector, and 34.2% were in the public sector. The majority of respondents were Oral Surgeons (44.7%), followed by General Practitioners (21.1%), Periodontists (18.4%), and Prosthodontists (13.2 %). Fifty-two percent of respondents had received formal post-graduate training in implant placement, this also being in combination with courses and/or seminars (50%), and/or by Fellowship/Board training (15.7%). The most commonly used implant systems were Straumann (34.2%), Astra Tech (28.9%) and Zimmer (23.7%) respectively. Peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis were the most commonly encountered clinical complications, followed by local infection, failed osseointegration and dehiscence/fenestration.
Conclusion: The importance of continuing education courses is also conversed. The biggest barrier to implant treatment was found to be the actual cost of the implants for the patient.
