Including the patient's oral health perspective in evidence-based decision-making

CONCLUSION: Ultimately, these four dimensions of OHRQoL provide a practical and psychometrically solid way to collect and analyze OHRQoL data for all oral diseases in all settings, and eventually for all treatments through the use of a standardized, universal measurement tool. This universal impact metric capturing the patient's oral health perspective is the key to moving evidence-based dentistry and value-based oral health care forward.PMID:34244813 | DOI:10.1007/s00103-021-03375-0
