Purpose: Implant engine system is composed of the handpiece, micromotor, control box and foot switch. The aim of this study was to evaluate the satisfaction of the implant engine systems in terms of convenience-design and to examine the relation with the experience of implant surgery. Materials and Methods: Three implant systems were evaluated: SurgicXT/X-SG20L, INTRAsurg300/CL3-09, XIP10/CRB26LX. For this comparative study, 30 dentists were included and the satisfaction was measured using a structured questionnaire. One-way analysis of the variance (ANOVA) and multiple regression analysis were used within and between the groups. Results: Total satisfaction differed from each other (P < 0.05). The convenience score was more associated with the total satisfaction than design score. Moreover, the implant surgery experience affected several assessments. Conclusion: Collectively, in a cross-sectional study model, the design of implant system significantly affects its total satisfaction and the surgery experience can be influential factor in the evaluation of implant engine system.
