Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare patient expectations before Nonsurgical Periodontal Treatment with their level of satisfaction afterward based on a self-reported questionnaire.

Materials and Methods: Information was obtained from 140 patients initially diagnosed with chronic periodontitis. The survey was completed twice by each patient, once before and once after NSPT. For sample size calculation, we used Open epi, the calculated sample size was 16, by taking pre expectation of the (functional) 5.0±3.0 and post expectation of the (functional) 9.1±1.7 by using a visual analog scale (VAS) while keeping 95% confidence interval and 90% power of the study but to take the normality assumption of the data we took 140 sample size for our research.

Results: Positive correlations was found between expectations and post treatment outcome for esthetics (Spearman’s rho = 0.671, p < .001). A positive correlation was also found between expectations and post treatment ratings for function (Spearman’s rho = 0.917%, p < .001). No significant association was found between esthetic and functional expectations, gender (p = .518 and p = .376), and educational level (p = .916 and p = .412).

Conclusion: The majority of the patients in our study who were young end educated were satisfied with NSPT received.
