Varun Pandula: Explain the consequences of Extraction etc and show advantages of Root Canal Treatment and saving a tooth. If the patient is still interested in getting the tooth extracted, will go ahead with it. Sometimes we cannot force our opinion on the patient and have to give importance to the patients opinion as well.

DrHarshal T Pawar: Extraction after extraction fpd

Amrit Anand: Explain .. try to convince .. final call will be wt patient says ..

Reetu Nagpaul Kaur: Extraction or medication

Ayoob Khan: Just try with temporary filling with antibiotics,70 percent pt will be okay😀😀

Vinitha Varnan: A dentist‘s role is to create awareness.. !! 1st option is to explain the pros & cons… If the pt still wants to extract then the only option is to motivate for fpd … Suggestions from our part… decision must be patient’s

Aravindhan Karunakaran: As per ada ethical standards this is called autonomy. Patient has the right to decide his treatment. The dentist should give the pros and cons of all the professional options available in that particular case and the patients right to decide should be respected.

Murali Krishna: Extraction

Vandita Mishra: There is always a reason as to why would a patient not want an endo treatment! -A bad experience in the past! -Fear that the treatment may eventually fail and will anyways have to be removedThe above two are causes in most of the cases..others include, -Not willing to invest time! -Comparison of costs!-Influenced by experiences of others..I strongly feel it is our duty to work on those causes which are inhibiting the patient! Talk, motivate, and most important assure your patient of the treatment you are providing! There is no individual who would not want to save his/her tooth if you have confidence in your treatment and you do give him that assurance that his/her tooth will be saved!

Vinitha Varnan: i agree 👏👏👏

Santosh Yadav: Extraction

Pandula Sharath: Depends on how patient understands the treatment plan. Every patient is different few highly educated patients apply there own knowledge and tell us what to do we ignore them and do treatment according to their own decision. Few patients though they are illiterate they understand exactly what treatment they are going to receive and we are good to go with them. And the third kind are half knowledged, confused and unable to decide what they want so we explain and try to convince what is best to them later will be what they decide.
