Nihon University School of Dentistry Dental Hospital adopted program 1 and program 2 as a dental training program in 2013. All dental trainees are given training by cooperating facilities determined by matching a group at program 1 or management-type facilities, program 2. Every year, they have implant placement training with a jaw bone model at the end of the program. The aim of this study is an investigation of their training environment, or consciousness about implant therapeutics.
Dental trainees have certain opportunities to experience implant treatments at either the cooperating or management-type facilities. Moreover, since they have therapeutic experience during the programs, implant placement training made them fully understood the steps of implant therapy.
