Abstract

Background: Several dental procedures currently necessitate the use of bone grafts to replace or regenerate bone volume that has been lost to disease, trauma or surgery. However, it is essential to consider the patient's opinions and preferences before administration of any such procedure. Our study aims to investigate patients' perspectives on the commonly used bone grafts in dentistry and examine its correlation with variables such as gender, age, level of education, or religious faith. Methods: An anonymous, self-administered cross-sectional based questionnaire form was distributed to 200 individuals. The responses for acceptance, conditional acceptance, refusal and the reasons for the choice for each type of bone graft were obtained. The observed responses were compared with the participants’ demographics. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed for the collected data with P < 0.05 considered statistically significant.
