While periodontal therapies are largely effective, patient engagement in periodontal care is problematic. The study describes in this protocol aims to identify the top ten research priorities or uncertainties for specialized periodontal care (SPC) that are most important to periodontal patients and care providers.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec020\">\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The James Lind Alliance approach will guide the priority-setting partnership (PSP), which involves several steps: forming a PSP steering committee, gathering potential research uncertainties, summarizing the research uncertainties, verifying unanswered uncertainties, completing an interim priority setting survey, and facilitating a priority setting workshop. Study participants will be periodontal patients (n\u2009~\u2009150) and care providers (n\u2009~\u2009120), including general dentists, periodontists, and dental hygienists in Alberta, Canada. A steering committee representing the four stakeholder groups will oversee the study. Data on uncertainties from these groups will be gathered through two online surveys and focus groups. Demographic data (<jats:italic>e.g.,<\/jats:italic> age, sex) will be collected to describe participants and ensure representation of all stakeholder groups. Uncertainties submitted by participants will be evaluated against the existing evidence gathered through a scoping review to determine if they have already been addressed. Unanswered uncertainties will be taken to a workshop where participants (n\u2009~\u200920) representing all the stakeholder groups will set the top ten research priorities. Data analysis will include descriptive statistics and content analysis. The study is expected to conclude in August 2026.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec021\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Study findings will be disseminated to raise awareness among researchers and funders on research priorities that matter most to patients and dental care providers regarding patient engagement in SPC.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0319841","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,25]],"date-time":"2025-03-25T21:10:24Z","timestamp":1742937024000},"page":"e0319841","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Partnering with periodontal patients and care providers to establish research priorities for patient engagement in specialized periodontal care: A study protocol"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7459-2112","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Arnaldo","family":"Perez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manuel","family":"Lagravere","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cristine","family":"Miron Stefani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ava","family":"Nasr Esfahani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Geoff","family":"Ball","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Monica","family":"Gibson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,25]]},"reference":[{"issue":"11","key":"pone.0319841.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1045","DOI":"10.1177\/0022034514552491","article-title":"Global burden of severe periodontitis in 1990-2010: a systematic review and meta-regression","volume":"93","author":"NJ Kassebaum","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Dent Res"},{"issue":"7","key":"pone.0319841.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"576","DOI":"10.1016\/j.adaj.2018.04.023","article-title":"Periodontitis in US Adults: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009-2014","volume":"149","author":"PI Eke","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Am Dent Assoc"},{"key":"pone.0319841.ref003","author":"World Health Organization"},{"issue":"5","key":"pone.0319841.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"456","DOI":"10.1111\/jcpe.12732","article-title":"Impact of the global burden of periodontal diseases on health, nutrition and wellbeing of mankind: A call for global action","volume":"44","author":"MS Tonetti","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Clin Periodontol"},{"issue":"4","key":"pone.0319841.ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"333","DOI":"10.1111\/jcpe.12517","article-title":"Are periodontal diseases really silent?
