This retrospective study aims to assess the factors influencing the choice between conservative and surgical dental procedures among patients based on the example of the university specialized center in Poznan. Methods: We explored the patient dataset from the University Center of Dentistry and Specialized Medicine (Poznan, Poland), covering the period from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2023. A total of 182,654 medical records were analyzed, focusing on procedures such as restorations, endodontic interventions, and extractions. Multivariate logistic regression and multidimensional correspondence analyses were employed to assess the impact of demographic factors (age and gender) and tooth-specific characteristics on clinical decisions. Results: Females, particularly younger, were more likely to choose restorative procedures, while males, especially those over 50, predominantly underwent surgical procedures. Endodontic treatments were most common in males aged 18\u201330, primarily for maxillary anterior teeth and premolars. Molar extractions, especially in the mandible, were the most frequent surgical procedure. Maxillary teeth, particularly canines and premolars, were more likely to be treated conservatively. Conclusions: Economic factors, limited treatment access, and variations in patient preference influenced the observed patterns. Despite a national trend toward increased conservative treatments, disparities persisted based on age, gender, and tooth type. These findings emphasize the need for targeted prevention strategies and equitable access to advanced dental care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14051508","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,24]],"date-time":"2025-02-24T06:47:17Z","timestamp":1740379637000},"page":"1508","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Factors Influencing the Choice of Conservative and Surgical Procedures in Dental Patients from Poland: A Single-Center Retrospective Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-2980-5573","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kacper","family":"\u0141aganowski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 70 Bukowska Street, 60-812 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7302-4762","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martyna","family":"Ortarzewska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 70 Bukowska Street, 60-812 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kornela","family":"Cie\u015blik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Center of Dentistry and Specialized Medicine, 70 Bukowska Street, 60-812 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-0580-8921","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jakub","family":"Jankowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 70 Bukowska Street, 60-812 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5042-5985","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kacper","family":"Nijakowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 70 Bukowska Street, 60-812 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Olczak-Kowalczyk, D., Turska-Szybka, A., Kaczmarek, U., Mielczarek, A., Adamczyk, K., and Rusyan, E.
