Abstract
El objetivo del estudio fue relacionar las variables sociodemográficas, los niveles de ansiedad
y las creencias en salud oral con la satisfacción del paciente. Se seleccionaron por muestreo
probabilístico sistemático 342 pacientes. Los pacientes insatisfechos se caracterizaron por usar
prótesis total; considerar que las enfermedades orales pueden ser graves y los tratamientos costosos;
reconocer que las enfermedades de los dientes afectan su autoestima y que les da miedo
ir al odontólogo. Con la insatisfacción se relacionaron las características sociodemográficas, la
ansiedad severa, el estado de salud general y dental, la susceptibilidad y los beneficios percibidos,
la autoeficacia, el miedo al odontólogo, la facilidad para acceder a él, y la necesidad de
asistir a la consulta por síntomas.
