Study population: Practitioner investigators must have been enrolled in the DPBRN, completed the "Assessment of caries diagnosis \& caries treatment" study; and do at least some restorative dentistry in their practices. The human subjects directly involved in this study were patients who had sought dental treatment in the DPBRN practitioners' practices.

Brief summary: 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.

Detailed description: 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.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* participants directly involved in this study were patients who sought dental treatment in the practitioner investigators' practices
* patient with replaced or repaired restorations placed in the treatment of permanent teeth who were also enrolled in the DPBRN "Reasons for replacement or repair of dental restorations"
