Patients “This one I like the best.” “This one gives more information.” “It has me thinking if the work is worth it or are they doing more without the need. Are they doing a filling if it is still bad under the filling?”
Dentist “This is too much information for a patient…it is opening up a can of worms and giving them just enough to be confused.” “They [patients] are now going to come in and say I do not want you to take all the cavities out of my tooth.” “Information like this will motivate patients to direct their own treatment and that will be a big problem.” “It is not reliable.”
