The utilization of laser technology in conservative dentistry offers several advantages compared with traditional instruments, but one of the still unsolved problems is the difficulty in describing and explaining these advantages to patients. The aims of this study were to verify the efficacy of the way patients are informed and to evaluate their satisfaction with laser-assisted treatment. Before treatment, 100 patients were given a brochure that explained the relevant laser-assisted dental procedures, and after dental treatment an 11-item questionnaire was administered to the patients to evaluate their satisfaction with the treatment. Statistical analysis showed high levels of satisfaction for all the questions, especially those regarding the choice between laser therapy and traditional instruments (100%), choosing laser in the future (89%), and recommending it to family and friends (84%). This study may be relevant when determining the overall satisfaction of patients with this new technology.
与传统器械相比，激光技术在保守牙科中的应用具有若干优势，但仍存在一个尚未解决的问题，即难以向患者描述和解释这些优势。本研究旨在验证向患者告知相关信息的效果，并评估他们对激光辅助治疗的满意度。在治疗前，为 100 名患者提供了一份小册子，其中解释了相关的激光辅助牙科手术，治疗后，向患者发放了一份包含 11 个问题的问卷，以评估他们对治疗的满意度。统计分析显示，所有问题的满意度都很高，特别是关于激光治疗与传统器械之间的选择（100%）、未来选择激光治疗（89%）以及向家人和朋友推荐（84%）的问题。当确定患者对这项新技术的总体满意度时，本研究可能具有相关性。
