Patient-centred care is an important approach that is currently being adopted, to varying degrees of success, in a number of healthcare settings, particularly in family medicine and nursing. However, patient-centred care is relatively understudied in dentistry. This commentary aims to provide a general overview of patient-centred care studies conducted in dentistry, of how the approach is defined in this setting, and of the different models that have aimed to operationalize the concept. This concept is particularly relevant to dental education as current guidelines for dentists encourage and require them to adopt different dimensions of this approach. In addition to policies and guidelines, there is evidence that suggests that the adoption of patient-centred care would result in positive outcomes.
以患者为中心的护理是一种重要的方法，目前在许多医疗保健环境中得到了不同程度的成功应用，特别是在家庭医学和护理中。然而，以患者为中心的护理在牙科领域的研究相对较少。本评论旨在提供一个在牙科领域进行的以患者为中心的护理研究的概述，包括该方法在该环境中的定义，以及旨在实施该概念的不同模式。这个概念在牙科教育中特别相关，因为目前的牙医指南鼓励并要求他们采用这种方法的不同方面。除了政策和指导方针外，还有证据表明，采用以患者为中心的护理将带来积极的结果。
