AI Article Synopsis

Article Abstract

Introduction: Patient-centred care (PCC) is widely used within the medical setting, but there is a need for more research on PCC implementation in dentistry.

Sources Of Data: A narrative review was conducted with literature identified from the Ovid Interface, including several databases such as Embase and Medline.

Areas Of Agreement: PCC is associated with better health outcomes for patients, and greater work satisfaction among healthcare professionals.

Areas Of Controversy: Efforts to implement PCC in dentistry are lacking due to several issues including non-consensus about PCC definition and lack of explicit guidelines on how to implement PCC in dentistry.

Growing Points And Areas Timely For Developing Research: A theory-derived model of PCC explicitly designed for the dental setting was identified. This serves as a starting point to enhance PCC in dentistry, though further research is needed to empirically test the implementation of this model.
