What Do Patients Prefer in Periodontal and Implant Therapy? A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Understanding and integrating patients' preferences into clinical practice can enhance personalized care, improve patient's adherence to treatment, and lead to better therapeutic outcomes. The aim of this scoping review was to map the existing literature investigating patients' preferences in periodontal and implant therapy while identifying key areas for future research and development.

Methods

Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines, an electronic search was conducted in four databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and ScienceDirect) in July 2024 to identify studies evaluating patients' preferences for periodontal and implant therapy.
