Main Results:

  • The value attached to teeth was found to have two dimensions, with one dimension showing skewed distributions.
  • Four distinct subsamples were identified, each with unique patterns of dental value, attendance, oral health, and anxiety.
  • The analysis highlighted considerable heterogeneity among the study participants.

Conclusions:

  • A multivariate approach effectively reveals significant heterogeneity in patient values and behaviors related to oral health.
  • Distinct subgroups exist with varying perceptions and patterns concerning dental care.
  • These findings underscore the need for tailored approaches in dental health interventions.
