About this Research Topic
Over the past few years, dentistry has witnessed remarkable advancements and expanded its collaboration with various disciplines. This has led to a multidisciplinary approach aimed at revolutionizing oral healthcare. However, one crucial aspect that requires further exploration is the integration of psychological approaches within dentistry. Understanding the psychological aspects related to dental treatment can significantly impact patient experiences and outcomes.
This Research Topic aims to delve into the scientific and research aspects of the psychological approach in dentistry. By exploring new techniques and methods, the goal is to improve patient care during dental treatment and advance various dental branches, such as restorative dentistry, prosthodontics, oral surgery, implantology, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and temporomandibular disorder patients. The ultimate objective is to enhance oral health outcomes, optimize clinical dentistry practices, and create a positive and comforting environment for patients.
This Research Topic invites authors to submit original research articles, comprehensive reviews, short communications, case series, and case reports that examine the psychological dimensions of dental treatment across different branches. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
1. Assessing patient anxiety and fear related to dental procedures
2. Exploring effective communication strategies between dental practitioners and patients
3. Investigating the impact of patient education and counseling on treatment adherence and oral hygiene habits
4. Evaluating the efficacy of relaxation techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy, and other psychological interventions in reducing dental anxiety
5. Understanding the psychological factors influencing patient satisfaction and treatment outcomes
6. Uncovering the role of psychological support in the management of temporomandibular disorders and oral surgery procedures
7. Analyzing the psychological impact of prosthodontic and orthodontic treatments on patient well-being
By fostering a comprehensive understanding of the psychological approach in dentistry, this Research Topic aims to facilitate the integration of psychological techniques and strategies into clinical practice.
