Abstract

|
|
The distribution of patients and practice patterns in pediatric dentistry are constantly changing. This study aimed to analyze the changing trends of patient distribution and treatment patterns in pediatric dentistry. Patient distribution and practice patterns from 2011 to 2020 at the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at Chonnam National University Dental Hospital were collected and reviewed. The total number of outpatients showed a tendency to increase until 2019; however, this value decreased slightly in 2020 owing to the impact of the coronavirus disease pandemic. From 2011 to 2020, the proportion of new patients decreased from 12.18% to 8.98%. In 2011, restorative treatment was the most common, followed by preventive, surgical, endodontic, and orthodontic treatments. After 2012, preventive treatment showed the highest proportion, follwed by restorative, surgical, orthodontic, and endodontic treatments in 2020. The frequency of sedation and the proportion of insured treatments tended to increase over the 10-year study periods.
