Aesthetic evaluation after root coverage procedure: level of agreement between clinical evaluation and patient satisfaction

摘要

Introduction: Root coverage procedures are performed mainly by esthetic reasons. [1,2] The objective evaluation of the results by the dental practitioner may differ from the satisfaction expressed by the patient, resulting in a discrepancy between the objective measures performed and the subjective and individual interpretation of the patient. [3] The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between the aesthetic evaluation of the dentist and patient satisfaction after a root coverage procedure.
