Effects of Endodontic Perforations on Tooth Retention and Treatment Costs: A Cost‐Effectiveness Analysis
Perforation repair increases tooth retention time and comes with only limited or no additional costs depending on the age group. Perforations are associated with significant treatment needs and costs, and endodontic therapy should focus on avoiding them, likely justifying additional efforts if needed to do so.
