    Criteria for dental implant selection in Palestine

    Dental implants are alloplastic materials that are placed in order to assist repair or replace damaged orofacial components. The outcome is dependent on how well the implant's substance integrates with the surrounding tissue. However, this integration is influenced by several factors, such as implant material, bone quantity and quality, and implant loading status. Accurately detecting anatomical features in relation to implant size increases the success rate of implant surgery and reduces the risk of surgical damage. This can only be accomplished by a comprehensive and suitable radiological examination. In order to help the dentist, determine the best kind of implant for the patient, the study focuses at the characteristics of the implant and the medical imaging modalities Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and panoramic that the dentist performs. A cross-sectional descriptive study about the functions of medical imaging in dental implants and the factors that influence selecting the type of implant among Palestine's dentists who perform dental implant. An online survey including inquiries about preferred dental implants, the status of patient’s economy, and other important factors that influenced their choice of implant type. The statistical analysis conducted using IBM SPSS v27 to investigate the relationships and differences between various variables, Cronbach's alpha, chi-square test, Spearman's rank correlation, Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney U test were used to examine relationship between the study’s variables. Throughout the analysis, we consider statistically significant of a P-value of less than 0.05, indicating that observed effects were unlikely to be due to chance. 94.6% of participants stated that CBCT is their primary medical imaging modality. Additionally, the study's findings indicate that the following factors influenced the dentist's decision regarding the type of implant: (a) the time required for the procedure, which was 69.8% P-Value ˂0.001; (b) the patient's age, which was 60.4% P-Value ˂0.001; (c) the implant's cost, which was 62.8% P-Value ˂0.001; and (d) the patient's required number of implants, which was 59.7% P-Value ˖0.001. Surgical implants were selected primarily in comparison to basal and compressive implants based on characteristics such as implant stability, success and continuity, surrounding bone growth, and the expected medical benefit overall. The majority of Palestinian dentists use CBCT to identify the type of implant. Additionally, the outcomes demonstrated that while basal implants produce equivalent results more quickly, dentists did not initially favor them. When choosing an implant type, dentists considered the patient's age, the duration of the surgery, and the implant's cost into account.
