Quality of Life in Patients with Endodontically Treated Teeth: A Retrospective Study at an Educational Hospital
Patients reported high levels of satisfaction (95%) and no negative impact on their OHRQoL. Statistical analysis revealed that post-operative periapical index (PAI) scores (<i>p</i> < 0.001), patient gender (<i>p</i> = 0.003) and nationality (<i>p</i> = 0.029) significantly influenced OHRQoL perceptions; Conclusion: These findings emphasize the effectiveness of RCT in enhancing patients' quality of life and highlight the impact of demographic factors-such as gender and whether the patient is a resident or a national of the country, along with post-treatment severity of the disease-on patient-reported outcomes.
