Patient perception who had undergone root canal treatment
Keywords:
Root canal treatment, Perception, Pain, ToothAbstract
Introduction: Root canal treatment (RCT) is generally known as a painful procedure. One of the most significant disadvantages of root canal therapy is that most patients are unaware of it. To effectively address the problem, it is important to understand and recognise the factors that prevent or deter patients from undergoing RCT. According to a review of the literature, there is a scarcity of data on RCT knowledge and acceptance among patients in the Indian population. Aim: The aim of this present study is to assess the patients perception who had undergone root canal treatment. Materials and Methods: 100 participants were involved in the study. A well structured questionnaire containing 15 questions was administered to the participants through an online survey link. The responses were analysed through descriptive statistics using SPSS software. The results are represented through pie charts and association graphs. Results and Discussion: The patients association is not significant. This shows that if patients are not properly educated regarding RCT, they get motivated to undertake the treatment. Patients' confidence can be increased by informing them about potential post endodontic pain and administering drugs to handle it.
