Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Adequate parent education (instructions) given after the extraction of primary teeth has been demonstrated to decrease the postoperative experiences, thus improving patient satisfaction. The objective of the trial was to evaluate the parent’s compliance with post-operative instructions given in verbal, written formats, and patients’ satisfaction with the treatment procedure. Methodology: A total of 60 children advised for extraction of primary teeth weredivided into three groups based on the form of instructions provided to them. Group A (20): Instructions verbally, Group B (20): Instructions in written form and Group C (20): Instructions in verbal and written form. Instructions were given to the parents of all the included children in the study. Three days postoperatively, information was collected based on the parent’s memory of post-operative instructions. Results: Ahigher percentage of recall was observed in group C (90%) who received both verbal and written instructions followed by group B (70%) and group A (55%). Conclusion: Verbal instructions alone are not sufficient, and should be reinforcedwith written instructions. Verbal and written instructions, using simple words, with details on post-operative experiences are essential in achieving successful treatment and better compliance.
