Abstract

  The progression of clinical decision making involves evaluating clinical facts in conjunction with an interaction between the dentist and the patient. Patients come to dental clinic with not only problems in their oral cavity but also certain psychological and emotional concerns. In this article, we have concentrated on emotions which are also important in the interactions between other members of the dental office and patients.
