QUESTIONNAIRE INTERVIEW
There is a common thing among doctors, dentists, pharmacists and all other practitioners in the medical field which is the questionnaire interview or patient interview. The difference is in the way the practitioner does it. Patient interview defines as the fundamental way of gaining the essential information related to the patient in order to provide the essential and efficient service care to the patient. A methodological approach is used to get the comprehensive information about the patient, firstly by obtaining the chief complaint and secondly by taking out all the complaints and problems he/she suffered from.

The practitioner's goal during the interview is to provide the patient-centered care and this happens by combining his/her medical knowledge with communication and patient-interview skills. The patient interview starts where the dentist introduces his/herself to establish a rapport and then asks open and close-ended questions. While the patient gives the answers, the dentist should effectively listen to all details and evaluates the need for asking a further question for better understanding the condition. After that, the practitioner needs to assess the route of the pain/condition and understand the reasons behind the apparent symptoms. Also, the practitioner needs to consider other patient-specific factors and relate them to the patient's condition, such as age, sex, weight, PMH, allergies, pregnancy status, and breastfeeding …show more content…
Pubertal growth spurt differs from one individual to another in the onset, duration, velocity and amount of growth. When made this prediction before orthodontic treatment, complements orthodontic diagnosis, planning, and prognosis, particularly because growth increments are maximized during this phase. For example in some conditions, the growth should be controlled or even redirected and that is depending on whether its pattern is favorable or unfavorable. The patient should be asked questions about recent changes in clothes/ shoe sizes, signs of sexual maturity (achievement of menarche in girls) and age of sexual maturity in older siblings. Look for signs of secondary sexual characteristics, and take notes of the patient height and weight compared to siblings and parents, as this will tell you whether the patient has reached the onset of puberty, is at the peak of his or her growth spurt, or if the growth spurt has ceased altogether. Orthodontic correction can benefit from rapid growth during adolescence, whereas growth modification may not be feasible if a child is at the peak of the growth spurt. It is important to note that one's chronological is does not always coincide with skeletal or dental age. Serial cephalometric X-rays are the best way to determine whether growth has stopped or is still
