Awareness On Genotoxicity Induced By Implants Among Dental Students.

Abstract

The implant dentistry area has expanded rapidly in recent years. Genotoxicity has gained widespread acceptance as an important and useful indicator of carcinogenicity. A variety of assays can assess genotoxicity, including those that assess genetic damage, DNA repair capacity, metaphase chromosomal aberrations, micronuclei, and sister chromatid exchanges.The purpose of this study was to provide an awareness and to analyse about genotoxicity induced by dental implants among various dental students.A Questionnaire was prepared and circulated among Dental students among various dental colleges. There were about 300 dental students who attended the survey. The data was collected and analysed and evaluated.About 89% of the students were aware about the genotoxicity induced by implants.Majority of the students were about the genotoxicity induced by implants.
