“…Nevertheless, a large part of the population opts for private services and accepts additional payments, because there is no guarantee for nationwide provision of dental services, and patients prefer better quality of care and more intensive dentist-patient contact compared to public services [190]. Turkey is an exception to the high weighting of out-of-pocket payment [145,191,192]. Until the reform in 2008, dental treatments often had to be paid privately by patients.…”

Background Achieving dental health for the population should be a concern of a public health care system, as it may affect its expenditures in the long term. Patients often face individual challenges in dental health care. Why patients decide for or against dental treatments can be determined by many factors, e.g., own financial resources, preferences, and external circumstances. The study’s aim is to identify these factors with an international perspective. Methods We systematically searched for literature in three biomedical databases. Factors of choice were extracted from relevant publications. We used a qualitative approach for analysis, and the MMAT (Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool) for quality assessment. Results After multistage screening of n = 4,226 publications by two reviewers, n = 233 relevant articles of different study types [qualitative (n = 42), quantitative (n = 177), and mixed methods (n = 14)] were included in the analysis. Data collection was realized across different settings [e.g., practice (n = 18)] and approaches (e.g., interviews) in n = 49 countries. Included articles focused on specific treatments (e.g., caries treatment) or treatments in general (e.g., dental tourism). Across countries, various factors of choice (n = 101) were identified, divided into three categories: (I) "dentist & dental institution" (e.g., communication), (II) "patient" (e.g., dental fear), and (III) "treatment" (e.g., durability). The factors out-of-pocket payment and dental fear were mentioned most frequently (n = 148, n = 73). In countries with most articles [UK (n = 28), Saudi Arabia (n = 23), USA (n = 22), India (n = 19), and Brazil (n = 14)], out-of-pocket payment was identified most often [e.g., India: in 68%, and the UK: in 56% of articles]. Frequency of the factor dental fear varied by country. One publication addressed the Covid-19 pandemic reporting that treatment appointments were cancelled by patients due to their fear of infection with SARS-CoV-2. Study quality is highly variable. Conclusions A variety of factors influence patients' choice regarding dental treatments. There is little research on impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Knowing patients’ reasons for seeking dental care can help to inform decisions about interventions to improve dental health. Regulatory measures and information efforts should be adapted to reduce patients’ access barriers to dental care, and to reduce expenditures of health care systems in the long term.

This study aimed to determine the motives for undertaking prosthetic treatment at the Prosthetics Clinic of the Poznan University of Medical Sciences (PUMS), pursued by fifth- and sixth-year medicine and dentistry students. The survey consisted of 18 questions, of which 1 to 11 concerned general patient data, while questions 12 to 18 concerned prosthetic treatment. The only open question in the questionnaire was one regarding the motives for the decision to receive treatment. The study group consisted of 153 patients (102 women—66.67% and 51 men—33.33%) of the Prosthetic Clinic. After collecting a total of 200 questionnaires, rejecting 47 (23.50%) due to the lack of answers to all questions (other than question 18), a total of 153 completed (76.50%) questionnaires were obtained. The main motivating factors for patients to undertake prosthetic treatment are functional and aesthetic considerations. In addition, it turned out, that the authority of the university unit is of greater importance than financial issues. Additionally, some patients undergo treatment by students because they can see positive aspects in it, both for them and for students. Hence, the evaluation of the treatment provided by students, as well as their communication skills and their attitude, are rated very highly, although, again, the evaluation was influenced by the education level.
