Patients’ Preferences for the Treatment of a Single Missing Tooth in China: A Discrete Choice Experiment
In the ranking of the relative importance of key factors affecting single missing tooth restoration, complication rates are most highly valued, suggesting that reducing the complication rate is a key issue to be addressed in prosthodontics. In addition, deriving the ranking of patients' concerns about key factors can help to improve doctor-patient communication and provide a reference for treatment technology development and medical decision-making.
