Awareness and knowledge of patient choice were important for developing the standard of dental health. It is important to maintain the patient-dentist relationship, which must be done with sincerity. For patients, the quality of social care is crucial. Therefore, the study's goal is to determine whether patients perceive dental treatment provided by male or female dentists differently. A descriptive cross-sectional hospital-based study (Saveetha University) was conducted using a structured questionnaire which consisted of questions which assessed the patient opinion about dental care provided by male or female dental practitioners. To evaluate statistical significance, we shall utilize ( = 0.05). The Chi-square test was performed to evaluate patient perception toward gender preference in providing dental care. Male and female participants appear to have the same degree of knowledge when compared, according to a statistically significant connection ( = 0.05) that was discovered. The study demonstrated that patients' perceptions of the expertise levels of male and female dentists were the same.
患者对自身选择的认知和了解对于制定口腔健康标准很重要。维持医患关系很重要，而这必须要真诚地去做。对患者来说，社会护理的质量至关重要。因此，该研究的目的是确定患者对男性或女性牙医提供的牙科治疗的看法是否存在差异。一项基于医院的描述性横断面研究（萨维塔大学）使用了一份结构化问卷，其中包含评估患者对男性或女性牙科从业者提供的牙科护理看法的问题。为评估统计学显著性，我们将采用（α = 0.05）。进行卡方检验以评估患者在接受牙科护理时对性别偏好的看法。根据发现的具有统计学显著性的关联（α = 0.05），比较时男性和女性参与者似乎具有相同程度的认知。该研究表明，患者对男性和女性牙医专业水平的看法是相同的。
