Clinical Trial Summary

This is a multicenter cross-sectional study that aims to provide a snapshot of the experience of patients before starting dental treatment.

Description:

Although the information is of limited duration, it could represent a descriptive view of a particular context of the dental profession in Spain. This qualitative information on patients' concerns may help the clinician to categorize patients' concerns, facilitate communication, and manage their expectations before initiating treatment.

Patients attending 6 different clinics in Spain consecutively for two years constitute the study sample. Questionnaires will be given to patients who consented to participate in the study, prior to the start of treatment. In addition to the questionnaire, additional demographic data will also be recorded.

The data will be analyzed statistically and appropriate conclusions will be drawn.
