✦ Synopsis

Aim: To assess experiences of the Dutch population concerning the implementation of some of their rights by dentists. Method: A postal questionnaire. Participants: All 1,616 participants of the 'Consumer Panel Health Care' in the Netherlands. Results: 78.8 % of the subjects responded. Patients were satisfied with the general information they received from their dentist. Their experiences of receiving information about specific legislation-related issues, however, were less positive. A considerable percentage of patients indicate that their dentist did not always inform them about risks or alternative treatment options.

Conclusion:

The autonomy of patients, which is the key principle underlying the 1995 Medical Treatment Contract Act, can seriously be undermined without making available this kind of information.
