Abstract

PURPOSE: The purpose was to assess the outcome of improved staff supervision on the efficiency and quality of complete dentures delivered by clinical students.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The audit was performed in two parts. In the first cycle, retrospective analysis for complete dentures delivered by clinical students was undertaken, and patient's satisfaction was graded using Geriatric/General Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI). All the impeding factors encountered in the first cycle were identified, and corrective measures were implemented. Subsequently, a prospective analysis for the dentures delivered under strict staff supervision was undertaken in the second cycle. Patient satisfaction was graded again using GOHAI.

RESULTS: Improved staff supervision increased the patient satisfaction significantly.

CONCLUSIONS: The quality of care had improved in leaps and bounds compared to the first cycle due to increased level of supervision and strict adherence to the recommendations made at the end of the first cycle.

Keywords: Clinical audit; Geriatric/General Oral Health Assessment Index; complete denture; oral health related quality of life
