A qualitative study of Advanced Education Programs in Prosthodontics (AEPPs) students was conducted to identify best practices to effectively promote ongoing health and student learning within the context of a patient-centered recall system.
Ten students from seven AEPPs nationwide were invited to participate in a focus group on recall systems within AEPPs. The discussion first identified whether an active recall program existed and then delved into benefits for patients and students, positive and negative features of existing recall systems, and factors that can be improved upon for an enhanced recall system.
Participants advocated the highest standard of patient care, including regular ongoing care once restorative therapy is complete. Discussion indicates that not only does regular patient recall lead to health promotion, disease prevention, and monitoring of existing prostheses for the patient, but also provides for an enhanced learning experience for the students. Recognizing this, several students from AEPPs lacking an official recall system have established a "makeshift" system, encompassing a treatment completion letter, final intraoral photographs, patient education, and regular prosthetic evaluations, for their existing patients.
Prosthodontic program students perceived their program's recall effectiveness could be improved. Due to the numerous potential benefits of an active recall system for both patients and students, some perceived factors to be improved upon include treatment completion protocol, patient education, and establishment of a patient-centered recall system managed by a team of hygienists, receptionists, attending faculty, and residents.
对高级教育课程（AEPP）的学生进行了一项定性研究，以确定在以患者为中心的召回系统背景下有效促进持续健康和学生学习的最佳实践。
邀请了来自全国七个 AEPP 的十名学生参加了一个关于 AEPP 内召回系统的焦点小组。讨论首先确定是否存在主动召回计划，然后深入探讨了对患者和学生的好处、现有召回系统的积极和消极特征，以及可以改进以增强召回系统的因素。
参与者倡导最高标准的患者护理，包括在修复治疗完成后定期进行持续护理。讨论表明，定期患者召回不仅有助于促进患者健康、预防疾病和监测现有义齿，还为学生提供了更好的学习体验。认识到这一点，一些缺乏正式召回系统的 AEPP 的学生为他们现有的患者建立了一个“临时”系统，包括治疗完成信、最终口内照片、患者教育和定期修复体评估。
修复学课程的学生认为他们的课程的召回效果可以提高。由于主动召回系统对患者和学生都有许多潜在的好处，一些被认为需要改进的因素包括治疗完成协议、患者教育以及由卫生员、接待员、主治教师和住院医师组成的团队管理的以患者为中心的召回系统的建立。
