Context:

  • Dental practice involves various risks.
  • Understanding how these risks are perceived is essential for patient safety and informed decision-making.

Purpose:

  • To review empirical and theoretical work on risk perception in the context of dental practice.
  • To explain the factors influencing risk perception, including actual risk magnitude and perceptual biases.

Summary:

  • Risk perception is shaped by objective risk levels and subjective biases.
  • Cognitive availability and ego-relevance contribute to perceptual bias.
