Core Tip
Core Tip: Patient-centric periodontal research (PCPR), a ground-breaking idea, attempts to bridge the gap between science and patient well-being. Conventional dentistry or periodontal research often ignores the human component in favor of clinical outcomes and biological causes. The requirement for PCPR will lead to a paradigm shift in research that favors a comprehensive strategy that prioritizes patients and their experiences. A thorough understanding of how periodontal diseases affect people’s daily lives becomes feasible in PCPR because of the active patient participation in the study process. This can be done by incorporation of patient related outcome measures (PROMs). However, not only PROMs be standardized, but they should also undergo psychometric validation so that they can be reliably used in clinical research to improve the quality of treatment and enhance patient safety.
