And in addition, to determine which patient, GDP, and dental practice characteristics predicted the provision of preventive and curative care. GDPs in the Netherlands using dental software program Exquise (&gt;2,000) were invited to participate in this study voluntarily. Participants completed a web-based questionnaire on characteristics of themselves, their dental practices, and on 20 hypothetical clinical situations concerning caries management. Based on their responses GDPS were classified for their preventive orientation, and their curative orientation. Data on the OHS provided to their young patients over the period 2013\u20132017 were automatically extracted from the patient files. Based on the annual frequency of provided care to regular patients over a period of 4 or 5 years, this was converted into 3 longitudinal care patterns regarding prevention and 3 longitudinal care patterns regarding curative care. Multinomial logistic regression analyses were conducted with a multilevel approach to correct for dental practices. The 37 participating GDPs provided data for 16,229 young patients. There was not a significant relationship between self-reported preventive orientations and preventive care patterns. The self-reported middle curative orientation was a predictor of the care pattern \u2018curative treatment(s) in 1 year\u2019 (OR 1.23 compared to nu curative treatments; 95% CI 1.02\u20131.48). The self-reported high curative orientation was a predictor of \u2018curative treatments in several years\u2019 (OR 1.90; 95% CI 1.27\u20132.85). Common characteristics predicting (p&lt;0.05) both regular preventive care and curative treatments in several years were patient related: age 4\u20139 and 10\u201312, low-income neighborhood, 5 years included in study. GDP and dental practice related predictors were: the GDP could fulfill the care demand by working overtime, small dental practice (\u22642,000 patients), and practice policy on the provision of care to young patients. This showed that the variation in provided care was partly supplier-driven instead of patient-centered.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0306403","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,5]],"date-time":"2024-07-05T17:42:26Z","timestamp":1720201346000},"page":"e0306403","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The relationship between self-reported preventive and curative orientations of dentists and oral healthcare services provided to Dutch young patients: An observational study"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4275-3361","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Riet","family":"Hummel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6330-4445","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Joost","family":"den Boer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mariska","family":"Barendse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4979-2099","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Geert","family":"van der Heijden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wil","family":"van der Sanden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Josef","family":"Bruers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,5]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0306403.ref001","first-page":"25","article-title":"Categorisation of dental care provided in the Netherlands","volume":"22","author":"JJ Bruers","year":"2005","journal-title":"Community Dent Health"},{"key":"pone.0306403.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"85","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jdent.2018.12.016","article-title":"Impact of individual-risk factors on caries treatment performed by general dental practitioners","volume":"81","author":"C Signori","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Dent"},{"issue":"2","key":"pone.0306403.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e 0299470","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0299470","article-title":"Longitudinal patterns of provided oral healthcare services to Dutch young patients: an observational study","volume":"19","author":"R Hummel","year":"2024","journal-title":"PLos One"},{"key":"pone.0306403.ref004","unstructured":"KIMO (Dutch Institute of Expertise for Oral Healthcare).
