Patient self-reported perception and knowledge of periodontal disease
Background
Limited information is available about patient knowledge and perceptions of periodontal diseases. In this observational, survey-based study, the authors investigated patients’ understanding of periodontal diseases and their experience after periodontal therapy using self-reported oral health–related quality of life.
Methods
Patients receiving oral health care at the College of Dentistry, University of Oklahoma, were recruited and surveyed about topics related to general knowledge, etiopathogenesis, treatment outcomes, level of treatment satisfaction, and oral health–related quality of life in the context of periodontal diseases. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and bivariate statistical methods.
Results
A total of 190 surveys were collected. The results showed that 19.6% of patients did not know whether they had received a diagnosis of periodontitis and 13.7% were unaware whether they had undergone any treatment for it. Patients who reported having periodontitis had a better understanding of what a periodontal pocket was than healthy patients (79% vs 48%) and agreed smoking tobacco products could worsen the condition (92% vs 69%). Patients who had received a diagnosis of periodontal disease were more concerned about their teeth (eg, esthetics, tooth loss, function, and discomfort) than healthy patients (84.3% vs 58.9%). Lastly, a strong association was found between patients’ total knowledge scores and positive attitude toward their dental health and periodontal therapy.
Conclusions
Patients generally have a limited understanding of their periodontitis diagnosis and treatment. However, those requiring advanced treatment had a better understanding of their condition compared with patients not treated for periodontitis.
Practical implications
Clinicians will dedicate more time to patient education about periodontal diseases.
期刊介绍:
There is not a single source or solution to help dentists in their quest for lifelong learning, improving dental practice, and dental well-being. JADA+, along with The Journal of the American Dental Association, is striving to do just that, bringing together practical content covering dentistry topics and procedures to help dentists—both general dentists and specialists—provide better patient care and improve oral health and well-being. This is a work in progress; as we add more content, covering more topics of interest, it will continue to expand, becoming an ever-more essential source of oral health knowledge.
