Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the patients' knowledge on dental implants in complete denture. Methodology: Patients? knowledge and awareness in using dental implants as an option in complete denture were evaluated through a standardized self- explanatory questionnaire distributed in Dental colleges. The questionnaires were handed to the patients during their regular dental visits. A total of 100 subjects were included in this survey. Result: 58% of patients were not aware of implants and more than 70% of them were hesitant to consider implants for replacement of missing teeth as they felt it was too costly. Conclusion: Most of the patients did not have a clear idea about implant therapy which emphasizes the need to educate them
