How dentists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons deal with tooth extraction without a valid clinical indication

D. L. M. Broers, L. Dubois, et al.

Discover the intriguing insights from a study examining the practices of oral and maxillofacial surgeons versus dentists in the Netherlands. Both groups face requests for dental extractions without clinical indications, often stemming from financial motives or patient fears. This research conducted by Dyonne Liesbeth Maria Broers, Leander Dubois, Jan De Lange, Jos Victor Marie Welie, Wolter Gerrit Brands, Maria Barbara Diana Lagas, Jan Joseph Mathieu Bruers, and Ad De Jongh reveals fascinating trends in dental compliance and patient assessments.

Abstract
This study analyzes data to determine differences between oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMFSs) and dentists regarding dental extractions without clinical indication. A survey of 18 questions was sent to 256 OMFSs and 800 dentists in the Netherlands. Results showed that a significant percentage of both groups received requests for extractions without clinical indication, most often due to financial reasons or severe dental fear. Dentists were more likely to comply with these requests than OMFSs. Few practitioners regretted their decisions. There was no significant difference in checking patients' mental competency.
