Raise the awareness level about complications of incomplete
dental treatment in patients attending the clinics in Al-quds
university dental school

Introduction

The difference between the reality and the hopes always exist. That you will never see
that both reality and hopes are identical. As a dentist you work hardly to get your
patient healthy but you'll be shocked when you find your patient is careless about his
problem firs and his treatment plan. Whom you do your optimum to make him
healthy.
Actually you must not be shocked because your patient is not the only one who
doesn\u2019t respond well to his treatment plan. According to many dentists and to our
experience as dental students of the 2nd clinical dentistry year in AL-QUDS dental
faculty, it's found that significant member of patients are barely complaint to their
treatment plan \u2026
In this study we'll try to look for the causes that make some patients poorly aware to
their treatment plan, WHY DO THEY DO SO???? .
Also to discuss what can be done to improve the compliance of the patients? What
roles does the dentist have to do improve this compliance???
Finally this study conducted for 40 students in AL-QUDS dental school for the
patients they had seen in the past year. It showed that 50 % of the patients came to our
faculty clinics are not fully compliant fro the treatment. That they don\u2019t return
anymore to our clinics after his complaints ends up.

Goals

patients attending the clinics in our faculty. And give them the optimum knowledge
for complete the treatment plan.

Epidemiology
2

For the purpose of our project we conducted a simple and small survey that involved
40 students in the fifth \u2013 clinical \u2013 year of our faculty. Randomly chosen subjects
were asked to answer three simple questions about their experiences with patients in
this last semester (September 2007- January 2008).

The questions were namely:
1.
How many patients did you treat this semester?
2.
How many of these patients abandoned their treatment plan?
3.
Can you mention the reasons that made these patients abandon
treatment?
These forty students have treated the amazing number of 719 patients. We may expect
that over 1000 patients come to our clinics by semester.
A total of 114 patients abandoned treatment for some reason.
