23. Importance of patients communication for dentists
1. The dentist–patient relationship is a crucial factor
that has an influence on the viability of the average dental practice
2. Dental students should be educated about the
importance of developing and mastering sound
communication skills with patients.

36. Summaries
1. The culture of dentistry places a high premium on technology. Dental schools should ensure a balanced approach in their training of dentists to ensure that the focus on technology is not at the expense of the dentist–patient relationship

37. Summaries 2. Since dental care occurs in the context of
relationships amongst patients and dentists,
dental schools should complement students’
cognitive and clinical development by teaching
the human dimensions of dental care by means of
the development and implementation of courses
in communication skills

38. Summaries 3. Standardized patient (SP): a professional actress
was trained as SP to portray the case study
(clinical scenario) in a consistent, reproducible
and measurable manner )
4. To assist the SP in understanding the nature of
the dental scenario and its presenting signs and
symptoms, written case notes were prepared for
the SP to review
