The aim of this study was to explore the influence of a framing effect in retreatment decision-making of a root-filled tooth with asymptomatic apical periodontitis (AP).
Two variants of a questionnaire were created in which the factual information about a root filled with AP was identical. The options in the first variant were framed in favor to wait and see (FW) and those in the other variant were framed in favor of retreatment (FR) Two hundred and forty-eight volunteers were by chance given one of the two versions and were asked to choose between having retreatment or to wait and see.
Of the 125 participants given the FW version, 69 (55.2%) chose to wait and see while out of the 123 participants who were given the FR version, 38 (30.9%) made the alike choice (p = .0002).
A framing effect is likely to play an essential role in endodontic retreatment decision-making of root-filled teeth with asymptomatic apical periodontitis.
本研究旨在探讨在无症状性根尖周炎（AP）的根管治疗牙再治疗决策中框架效应的影响。
制作了两种变体问卷，其中关于 AP 根管填充的真实信息完全相同。第一种变体的选项采用“静观其变”（FW）的框架，而另一种变体的选项则采用“再治疗”（FR）的框架。248 名志愿者随机接受了其中一种版本，并被要求在再治疗或静观其变之间做出选择。
在接受 FW 版本的 125 名参与者中，有 69 名（55.2%）选择静观其变，而在接受 FR 版本的 123 名参与者中，有 38 名（30.9%）做出了相同的选择（p=0.0002）。
在无症状性根尖周炎的根管治疗牙再治疗决策中，框架效应可能起着重要作用。
