Patient Satisfaction and Long‐Term Outcomes: A 7‐ to 9‐Year Prospective Cohort Study of Root Canal Treatment in the Swedish Public Dental Service
Seven to nine years after the initiation of RCT in this general dental practice setting, patient satisfaction remains high despite one-third of treated teeth being reported as extracted. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating patient-reported outcomes in the evaluation of dental procedures, including endodontic treatments.
