Questionnaires were distributed to adult patients in a representative national sample of nine dental schools to solicit information on patient demographics, use of services, and perception of the care received. Responses from 2,346 patients were analyzed and compared to findings from various local studies. Results indicate: age range of patients and type of dental needs available to students is extremely variable among schools, the major referral system is through friends and relatives, most patients pay for all of their care and seek care at dental schools because of reasonable costs, transportation and parking pose significant problems for some patients, the majority of respondents had been patients for two years or less, and many patients want all of their clinical and interpersonal dental needs met in the school setting. Dental schools seriously need to consider such factors in light of current and projected teaching patient shortages.
