Abstract: PURPOSE: To analyze the use status and satisfaction of the follow-up patients, and explore the construction of internet medical service model and platform in stomatology. METHODS: Patients who visited the internet clinic of stomatology from January to June, 2021 were selected. After diagnosis and treatment, they were followed up by AI intelligent voice with self-designed questionnaire. SPSS 21.0 software was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: A total of 372 valid questionnaires were collected. The male-to-female ratio of oral patients was 1.25:1, with an average age of 35.96 years. Most of them had a bachelor's degree or above, and the patients were mainly from the Yangtze River Delta. 53.76% of patients needed doctors to prescribe drugs. 81.72% of the dental patients believed that the consultation process of internet clinic was convenient, and 79.83% of patients perceived that the system operation of internet clinic was convenient. Binary logistic regression showed that digital literacy, convenience of medical treatment process were significantly related to the satisfaction of internet outpatient service, while gender, education level, online medical treatment duration and convenience of system operation were not related. CONCLUSIONS: Internet medical treatment in stomatology is feasible, but it is still necessary to break through limitations and further innovate service function. Internet outpatients are mainly young and middle-aged, but it is still necessary to care for the special group of the elderly. It is necessary to further optimize the process, upgrade the system and innovate management, strengthen policy support and incentive mechanism, and promote the transformation of medical service mode in stomatology.
