Non surgical predicting factors for patient satisfaction after third molar surgery.

Background: In the third molar surgery, it is important to focus not only on surgical skills, but also on patient satisfaction. Classically studies have been focused on surgery and surgeon's empathy, but there are non-surgical factors that may influence patient satisfaction.

Material And Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 100 patients undergoing surgical extractions of impacted mandibular third molars treated from October 2013 to July 2014 in the Oral Surgery Unit of the University of Valencia.
