    IntroductionPatient-centred care (PCC) is widely used within the medical setting, but there is a need for more research on PCC implementation in dentistry.Sources Of DataA narrative review was conducted with literature identified from the Ovid Interface, including several databases such as Embase and Medline.Areas Of AgreementPCC is associated with better health outcomes for patients, and greater work satisfaction among healthcare professionals.Areas Of ControversyEfforts to implement PCC in dentistry are lacking due to several issues including non-consensus about PCC definition and lack of explicit guidelines on how to implement PCC in dentistry.Growing Points And Areas Timely For Developing ResearchA theory-derived model of PCC explicitly designed for the dental setting was identified. This serves as a starting point to enhance PCC in dentistry, though further research is needed to empirically test the implementation of this model.© The Author(s) 2023.
