Abstract：
Patient compliance following periodontal therapy is extremely important in predicting the prognosis of the disease and maintaining treatment outcomes. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the perception of periodontitis patients about treatment outcomes. A cross-sectional study was conducted among periodontitis patients in a single dental center through a pre-validated questionnaire that was distributed to each participant in the waiting area of periodontal clinics by utilizing a convenience sampling technique. Median and interquartile ranges were used in addition to frequency and percentages. Bivariate analyses were performed using the Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis test. Among the 300 male and female participants, the median score (interquartile range) of the current level of pain revealed that males experienced more pain than females, with a median score of 5 (0-7) for males and 4 (0-6) for women. However, the median (interquartile range) for desired and expected pain levels in both genders was 0 (0-1), 0 (0-4). There were significant differences in median score ratings between males and females for expected, distress, success, and importance levels (p-value < 0.05). Patients with periodontitis provided valuable insights into the experiences of individuals undergoing treatment for periodontal disease, indicating overall patient satisfaction with the expected levels of periodontal outcomes.
摘要：
牙周治疗后的患者依从性对于预测疾病的预后和维持治疗结果极为重要。因此,本研究旨在探讨牙周炎患者对治疗结果的认知。通过预先验证的问卷，在单个牙科中心的牙周炎患者中进行了横断面研究，该问卷通过使用便利的抽样技术分发给牙周诊所等候区的每个参与者。除频率和百分比外，还使用了中位数和四分位数范围。使用Mann-WhitneyU和Kruskal-Wallis检验进行双变量分析。在300名男性和女性参与者中，当前疼痛水平的中位数得分（四分位数范围）表明男性比女性经历更多的疼痛，男性的中位数为5分（0-7分），女性为4分（0-6分）。然而,男女期望和预期疼痛水平的中位数（四分位数范围）为0（0-1），0（0-4）。预期的男性和女性之间的中位数得分等级存在显着差异，苦恼,成功,和重要性水平（p值<0.05）。牙周炎患者为接受牙周病治疗的个人提供了宝贵的见解，表明患者对预期的牙周结局水平的总体满意度。
