Although patient satisfaction has been studied in the traditional medical context, patient satisfacation with the dentist has received only minor attention. A 10-item Dental Visit Satisfction Scale was developed. This scale was designed to assess patient satisfaction with the dentist in the context of a specific visit. It provides 3 subscales: Information-Communication, Understanding-Acceptance and Technical Competence, as well as an overall measure of satisfaction. Satisfactory internal consistency was obtained for all scale measures and 1 assessment of construct validity is reported. Potential clinical and research applications are discussed.
