What information do patients recall from the third molar surgical consultation?

The aim of this study was to determine whether the use of a professionally prepared educational video on third molar extraction enhances comprehension and retention of general and informed consent information. A prospective cohort study of adult patients undergoing consultation followed by extraction of third molars in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic, University of Illinois at Chicago was completed. At the initial consultation, the subjects viewed an educational video and received specific verbal individual information about their case.
