The most frequent arguments against rubber dam are that patients generally do not like it and the prolonged time of treatment. However, according to several studies, the attitude of patients towards rubber dam is rather positive.
To find out the attitudes of patients to treatment with rubber dam; to determine influence of the circumstances of treatment or factors about patients; and to establish a mean time needed for rubber dam placement.
A questionnaire survey.
Patients of general dental practitioners, university clinical specialists and undergraduate dental students.
A total of 179 questionnaires were distributed, from which 150 were returned. The mean time needed for rubber dam placement was 4 min for students and < 2 min for dentists. For 56% of patients, this had been their first experience with rubber dam. A total of 77% of patients indicated a higher level of comfort during treatment with rubber dam. A preference to the future rubber dam usage was indicated by 86% of patients. The preference to the further rubber dam usage was statistically significantly affected by the level of comfort during the treatment with rubber dam (P < 0.001) and by the sufficiency of explanation of reasons for rubber dam usage (P < 0.05). The other factors presented no statistically significant influence on patients' attitude to rubber dam usage.
The attitude of patients to rubber dam was rather positive in our study. The time needed for rubber dam application was rather short.
反对使用橡皮障的最常见理由是患者通常不喜欢它以及治疗时间延长。然而,根据多项研究,患者对橡皮障的态度相当积极。
了解患者对使用橡皮障治疗的态度;确定治疗情况或患者相关因素的影响;并确定放置橡皮障所需的平均时间。
问卷调查。
普通牙科医生、大学临床专家和牙科本科生的患者。
共发放问卷179份,回收150份。学生放置橡皮障所需的平均时间为4分钟,牙医则小于2分钟。56%的患者这是他们首次使用橡皮障。77%的患者表示使用橡皮障治疗时舒适度更高。86%的患者表示倾向于未来使用橡皮障。使用橡皮障治疗时的舒适度水平(P < 0.001)和对使用橡皮障原因解释的充分性(P < 0.05)对进一步使用橡皮障的倾向有统计学显著影响。其他因素对患者使用橡皮障的态度无统计学显著影响。
在我们的研究中,患者对橡皮障的态度相当积极。应用橡皮障所需的时间相当短。
