Abstract

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate changes in patient preference for nonsurgical retreatment before and after undergoing the procedure and to determine whether baseline retreatment selection was associated with demographic variables. Methods: A total of 200 patients indicated for nonsurgical endodontic retreatment completed a structured questionnaire before treatment (after standardized clinical information) and immediately after the procedure. Retreatment selection was operationalized as a binary variable for paired comparison. Changes in preference were analyzed using the McNemar test, and associations between baseline retreatment selection and demographic variables were evaluated using the Pearson Chi-square test. Results: Retreatment selection increased significantly following the clinical procedure (p .05). Conclusion: Direct clinical experience with nonsurgical retreatment was associated with a significant increase in patient preference for tooth preservation. Demographic variables were not independently associated with baseline retreatment selection.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma, cerrahi olmayan endodontik yeniden tedaviye yönelik hasta tercihlerindeki değişiklikleri işlem öncesi ve sonrası değerlendirmeyi ve başlangıçtaki yeniden tedavi seçiminin demografik değişkenlerle ilişkili olup olmadığını belirlemeyi amaçlamıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Cerrahi olmayan endodontik yeniden tedaviye uygun görülen toplam 200 hasta, tedavi öncesinde (standartlaştırılmış klinik bilgiler verildikten sonra) ve işlemden hemen sonra yapılandırılmış bir anketi tamamladı. Yeniden tedavi seçimi, ikili karşılaştırma için ikili bir değişken olarak tanımlanmıştır. Tercihteki değişiklikler McNemar testi kullanılarak analiz edilmiş ve başlangıçtaki yeniden tedavi seçimi ile demografik değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiler Pearson Ki-kare testi kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Klinik işlemden sonra yeniden tedavi seçimi anlamlı derecede artmıştır (p ,05). Sonuç: Cerrahi olmayan yeniden tedavi ile ilgili doğrudan klinik deneyim, hastaların diş koruma tercihlerinde anlamlı bir artışla ilişkilidir. Demografik değişkenler, başlangıçtaki yeniden tedavi seçimiyle bağımsız olarak ilişkili bulunmamıştır.
