Brief Summary

For 12 years, the odontology service of the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital group (GHPS) has been responsible for day and night dental emergency care. Several surveys have been conducted in order to analyze the sociological characteristics of the patients and the typology of the acts performed. These studies indicate that pain is the main reason for consultations, cited by 60 to 80% of patients. So far, very few studies have been done in the context of emergencies. Very recently, a study was undertaken on the satisfaction of patients consulting the odontological emergencies of the GHPS, during a thesis work. This study, carried out in collaboration with the URC Pitié Salpêtrière, under analysis, relates to the satisfaction of patients consulting the odontological emergencies of the GHPS during the day and week, Monday to Friday, excluding night and week emergencies -end (WE). Attendance at night and during WE is important because it is sociologically and medically different from that of day and week. It is therefore important to complete this study by focusing on patients consulting the emergency room at night and during the weekend. This work therefore responds to a request from the Odontology Emergency Reception Service (SAUO) of the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital Group. It will be carried out in the form of a survey whose objective is to assess: on the one hand, the effectiveness of the care provided in this emergency functional unit, and on the other hand the satisfaction of the patients after their passage to the emergency room .
