They were asked to recall various factors about their experience of the last root filling they completed, including the reason for treatment and the pulp diagnosis. Self\u2010assessments on 100\u2010mm visual analogue scales (VAS) were reported concerning the confidence in performing root canal treatment of a molar. End\u2010point definitions were \u2018very easy\u2019 (0) and \u2018very difficult\u2019 (100), respectively. Time reports of molar treatments were given in categorized groups.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> The most frequent reason for performing root canal treatment was caries within the tooth involved (55%). The majority of treatments involved teeth with vital pulps (54%). Retreatments were carried out in 2% of the cases. The confidence in performing root canal treatment varied but was relatively high, expressed as VAS\u2010values below 50. The creation of an aseptic working field was regarded as the most difficult procedure followed by root canal preparation. Fifty\u2010six percent of the responders stated a time frame of 46\u201375\u2003min to complete root filling in a molar tooth.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2002<\/jats:bold> Root canal treatment in Denmark was reported to be undertaken most often because of caries. Treatment was typically performed in molar teeth with vital pulp. Even though apical periodontitis was frequently noted in root filled teeth, retreatments were rare. From a subjective perspective root canal treatment was not considered to be very difficult and was carried out relatively rapidly.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2591.2006.01149.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,14]],"date-time":"2006-08-14T13:32:01Z","timestamp":1155562321000},"page":"785-790","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":65,"title":["Root canal treatment in Denmark is most often carried out in carious vital molar teeth and retreatments are rare"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"L.","family":"Bj\u00f8rndal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
