Background: Dental implant education has become part of undergraduate dental studies. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the practical attitude and knowledge of dental implants among senior dental students and general dentists who graduated from some Saudi and non-Saudi dental schools.

Material and Methods: The study included 300 participants (50% males and 50% females), including 150 participants from some Saudi dental schools and 150 participants from some non-Saudi dental schools. Self-designed multiple-choice questionnaires were distributed to all participants, comprising 31 questions in five parts related to demographics, the general knowledge of dental implants, training and teaching of dental implants, participants’ information regarding dental implants, and participants’ knowledge related to the topic of dental implant retained-restorations. Data were collected and analyzed using the Chi-square test and t-test, where P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant, and p <0.001 was highly statistically significant.

Results: The majority of the participants in the present study were general dentists who completed less than five years or more than five years after graduation (70.7%). Senior dental students represented 29.3% of the participants.
