Sažetak
Introduction: Recent progress in development of anti-aging facial treatments and their accessibility has led to an increase in both physician and nonphysician providers engaged in the practice of anti-aging medicine, including dental medicine doctors. The aim of this study was to investigate how much dental medicine students, as future medical professionals, are informed about some of the most performed anti-aging procedures as well as how much they are interested and motivated for work and education in this area. Methods: A web-based questionnaire was conducted at the School of Dental Medicine of University of Zagreb and Rijeka among 177 students divided into two groups ; undergraduates and senior students. Results: There were significant differences between knowledge and opinions of undergraduates and senior students regarding anti-aging treatments. Senior students showed greater knowledge of properties and complications of some of the most common anti-aging procedures. Moreover, senior students were more interested in performing such procedures in the future and further education in this area. Conclusion: There is a great interest of dental medicine students for performing anti-aging treatments in their future dental practice, but also a desire for better education in this area during their studies, as most of them believe that this area is part of the dental profession’s future.
