D型性格--倾向于消极情感和社会抑制的组合--是冠心病的危险因素。虽然D型人格与糖尿病护理依从性低有关，但尚不清楚它是否与牙科治疗依从性有关。因此，研究探讨了D型人格与牙科治疗退出之间的关系。使用基于网络的问卷比较治疗脱落组（n = 225）和维持组（n = 236）。问卷的目的是评估D型人格特质，辍学的原因，以及受访者的社会人口特征和态度。两组的社会人口学特征无显著差异。然而，D型人格的受访者的比例显着较大的辍学组比在维护组（P= 0.04）。最常见的原因是“症状改善”（46.2%）和“忙碌或学习”（30.7%）。辍学组中最常见的态度是对牙科实践的负面情绪。因此，D型人格可能与牙科治疗的退出有关。
Type D personality-the tendency toward combined negative affectivity and social inhibition- is a risk factor for coronary heart disease. Although Type D personality has been linked to low adherence to diabetic care, it is unclear whether it is related to adherence to dental therapy. Thus, study examined the relationship between Type D personality and withdrawal from dental therapy. A web-based questionnaire was used to compare a treatment dropout group (n = 225) and maintenance group (n = 236). The questionnaire was designed to assess Type D personality traits, reasons for dropout, and respondent sociodemographic characteristics and attitudes. There were no significant differences in the sociodemographic characteristics of the two groups. However, the proportion of respondents with a Type D personality was significantly larger in the dropout group than in the maintenance group (P= 0.04). The most common reasons for dental therapy dropout were "improvement of symptoms" (46.2%) and "busy with business or study" (30.7%). The most frequent attitude reported in the dropout group was negative feelings toward dental practice. In conclusion, Type D personality might be related to dropout from dental therapy.
