As patients access most of their dental care within the primary care setting, it is relevant to consider how the experience and opinions of general dental practitioners (GDPs) influence the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of their patients with tooth wear. This paper records the agreed outcomes of semi-structured discussions with three experienced GDPs. The aim is to continue the broader debate about how patients with tooth wear currently are and ideally could be managed within the primary care settings in England. The outcomes are also likely to be applicable to other countries, regardless of the local funding models for routine patient care.
由于患者在初级保健环境中接受大部分口腔护理，因此考虑一般牙科医生 (GDP) 的经验和意见如何影响其患有牙齿磨损的患者的诊断、监测和治疗是相关的。本文记录了与三位经验丰富的 GDP 进行半结构化讨论的商定结果。目的是继续更广泛地讨论目前在英格兰的初级保健环境中如何以及理想情况下可以管理患有牙齿磨损的患者。无论当地常规患者护理的资金模式如何，这些结果也可能适用于其他国家。
