Working Title: “Post-Operative Instructions Resource” Summary of Project The purpose of this project is to create a concise and informational guide containing post-operative instructions for dental students and patients. The guide contains details regarding care after appointments in several specialties of care that fall within the scope of general dentistry, and covers several procedures where post-operative care is vital toward beneficial outcomes following treatment. The instructions provided include procedures commonly conducted in the specialties of restorative dentistry, periodontics, removable prosthodontics, and endodontics. The instructions are created with patient-centered terminology making it easy for the patient to understand and follow. Significance The goal of the project is to create a resource that dental students can reference following the appointment after rendering care. We recognize that after appointments with patients in the clinic, post-operative care is not consistently provided to patients with extensive or detailed instructions. Students can reference and present this guide to their patients, and should have access to it where they are able to print it as a handout and provide it to patients. As dental students in the clinic and having undergone the various rotations, it is vital to provide patients with the “next steps” so that we provide patients with the best chance at successful treatment outcomes. Acknowledgments This project is under the guidance of Dr. Parvati Iyer. Faculty involved in this project as references are Dr. Aneet Randhawa, Dr. Gary Grill, and Dr. Steve Curtis.
