What are the four House classification of patient types




philosophical
what house classification is this:

,Most ideal patient to treat with complete dentures. "These patients are
rational, sensible, calm, and composed in difficult situations. Their motivation
is generalized, as they desire dentures for the maintenance of health and
appearance and feel that having teeth replaced is a normal, acceptable
procedure."




exacting
what house classification is this:


These patients are pseudo-philosophical. They present with many of the same
good qualities that your philosophical patients will have, however they require
much more attention from the dentist. "These patients are methodical, precise,
and accurate and at times make severe demands. They like each step in the
procedure explained in detail."




indifferent




***tend to blame dentist for everything




***Strong consideration is warranted for the practitioner to have a whole
appointment educating the patient regarding the function, esthetics, and care
of complete dentures and edentulous tissues.

,If a patient is not interested in receiving treatment after being taught about
complete dentures, it is best to refuse treatment for the patient rather than fail
at treatment due to poor patient cooperation.
what house classification is this:


"These patients evidence little if any concern; they are apathetic and
uninterested and lack motivation. Indifferent patients pay no
attention to instructions, will not cooperate, and are prone to blame the dentist
for poor dental health. Unfortunately, many young patients are this type."




hysterical




***will tend to cancel apointments
what house classification is this:




"Emotionally unstable, excitable, excessively apprehensive, and hypertensive.
The prognosis is often unfavorable, and additional professional help
(psychiatric) is required prior to and during treatment

with physicians if necessary.


4. Perform head and neck evaluation and make appropriate referrals if
necessary.

accurate prognosis.
