Satisfaction level of patients, post dental implant treatment

Aim: To evaluate the satisfaction level of patients, two years after post dental implant therapy.
Objective: Knowledge regarding patient's satisfaction will help motivate other patients to undergo dental implant therapy. This will also encourage them to undergo the treatment without the stress or anxiety which others might have.
