Abstract: Background: Multidisciplinary care, involving dental assistants, pharmacists, laboratory specialists, and social service administrators, has the potential to improve patient outcomes in dental surgery. However, its specific impact on patient satisfaction, medication adherence, and post-surgical recovery remains underexplored.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a multidisciplinary approach on patient satisfaction, medication adherence, and health outcomes in dental surgery patients.

Methods: A quantitative cohort study was conducted in a tertiary hospital with 120 dental surgery patients. The intervention group received multidisciplinary care, while the control group received standard care. Patient satisfaction, medication adherence, and post-surgical recovery outcomes were measured and compared.

Results: Patients in the multidisciplinary care group reported significantly higher satisfaction (p < 0.001), improved medication adherence (p = 0.002), and faster recovery times (p < 0.001) with fewer complications (p = 0.01) compared to the control group.

Conclusion: Multidisciplinary care significantly improves patient satisfaction, adherence to medication, and recovery outcomes in dental surgery patients. Implementing multidisciplinary teams in dental care settings can enhance patient-centered care and reduce post-surgical complications.

Keywords: Keywords: Multidisciplinary care, dental surgery, patient satisfaction, medication adherence, post-surgical recovery, healthcare collaboration
