The purpose of this study was to administer two questionnaires. The first, a Dental Satisfaction Questionnaire to assess patient satisfaction with a restoration visit using patients recruited from practices participating in the Dental PBRN "Reasons for replacement or repair of dental restorations" study. The second questionnaire (completed by the practitioner) was a brief single page questionnaire to evaluate the patient visit.

This study was to assess a comprehensive range of determinants of patient satisfaction following the restoration replacement or repair to study the relative contribution of each determinant towards overall patient satisfaction.
