| Abstract: | Orbital implants are made of synthetic usually placed during enucleation surgery but can be replaced later. Orbital implants fill space previously occupied by the eye. Muscles are usually surgically attached so it can move under the artificial eye. The implant is buried under pink tissue (conjunctiva) lining the socket, and stays there permanently, unless it becomes exposed or infected. Hence, the objective of this study is to assess the awareness of orbital implants among dentists. A questionnaire consists of 15 questions was prepared based on the knowledge and awareness of orbital implants. It was distributed among 100 dentists and results were collected and analysed. In this survey, out of 100, 55% were males and 45% were females. From the survey conducted, it is evident that 52% of the participants have heard and aware of the term orbital implants. It was clear that 44% of the participants were aware of the ideal anophthalmic socket. Only 23% of the participants knew about enucleation and 32% were aware about the placement of orbital implants. Only 34% of the participants were reported to knew about types of orbital implants and among them, 30% were aware of each types. Among 100 dentists, only 28% were aware of the complications of orbital implants. Only 37% were aware of the treatment of implant exposure and 38% aware about the secondary orbital surgery. It is clear that awareness and knowledge on the orbital implants is low among dentists. Emphasis should be given in orbital implants in universities for better knowledge and awareness |
