In addition to professional knowledge and technical skills for success in dental medicine, communication skills are also very important. The positive effect of good communication, clinical outcomes, patient concern, patient satisfaction, and treatment consistency have been proven to be more conscious today. For a good communication, the doctor should be able to use his active listening skills, be able to obtain patient data in a comprehensive manner, be able to inform the patient in an open and understandable manner and be able to make empathy. The need for a successful dentist to be able to communicate has also been accepted by various communities around the world. This is why students are advised to be given communication training during the bachelor's program. Many different methods have been to be used in the training of communication skills, such as traditional courses, video-recorded presentations, role-playing, standard patient and real patient conversations, fellow lessons and small group discussion. The use of passive, traditional methods as supporting, along with interactive methods, to gain communication skills is beneficial. However, the majority of the faculty of dentistry’s curriculum in communication education program is missing a systematic framework. The fullness of the dental curriculum makes it difficult for teachers to educate themes such as workload and educational disability for patients.
