Study on the application of quality control circle activity in postoperative nursing of elderly dental implants

Abstract

Background: To explore the application effect of “quality control circle” activity in postoperative nursing of elderly dental implants. Methods: From January 2022 to December 2022, a total of 60 elderly patients were selected and divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 30 cases in each group using the random number table method. The elderly patients with dental implants received postoperative care under the supervision of a quality control circle. The control group was treated with conventional nursing methods. The success rate, postoperative complications, and satisfaction of the 2 groups were compared. Results: By comparing the postoperative care effect of the 2 groups of patients, the satisfaction of the experimental group and the control group was 93.3% and 73.3%, respectively, showing the satisfaction of the experimental group was higher than the control group (P < .05). The planting success rate of the experimental and control groups were 96.7% and 66.7%, respectively, with the experimental group outperforming the control group (P < .05). The proportion of complications in the experimental was found to be fewer (6.7%) than in the control group (33.3%) (P < .05). Conclusion: Quality control circle activities can effectively improve the success rate of dental implants, reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications, improve patient satisfaction, and help medical staff in providing better treatment for patients.
