The quality of patient-provider communication can predict the healthcare outcomes in patients, and therefore, training dental providers to handle the communication effort with patients is crucial. In our previous work, we developed an ontology model that can standardize and represent patient-provider communication, which can later be integrated in conversational agents as tools for dental communication training. In this study, we embark on enriching our previous model with an ontology of patient personas to portray and express types of dental patient archetypes. The Ontology of Patient Personas that we developed was rooted in terminologies from an OBO Foundry ontology and dental electronic health record data elements. We discuss how this ontology aims to enhance the aforementioned dialogue ontology and future direction in executing our model in software agents to train dental students.
