Patient Satisfaction and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life before and after Endodontic Treatment: A Longitudinal Study

Introduction: Patient satisfaction depends on various factors despite a reasonable success rate of endodontic treatment. We study various factors affecting the quality of life and patient satisfaction post-endodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: After the successful endodontic treatment of 250 patients, a questionnaire with means of an interview by the examiner was carried out and recorded. Results: The majority of the patients were satisfied. Mean oral health quality was more satisfactory post one-month study. Oral health quality among anterior and posterior was not significant. Oral health quality among the upper and lower jaw was not significant. Oral health quality among males and females was not significant. Conclusion: A concrete relationship exists between the diseased state and its treatment on quality of life.
