Patients reported different psycho-social and physical impacts following endodontic retreatment and apical surgery. Patients undergoing endodontic retreatment were more satisfied with aesthetic outcomes but experienced greater impact related to complexities and length of time taken for treatment. Patients undergoing surgery were better informed of treatment options but experienced greater physical and psycho-social disability during the recovery phase. Clinicians could consider incorporating findings from this study into the patient-dentist discussion.
