Abstract : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acceptability of endodontic treatment as a highly specialized dental care in Japan. One hundred and six patients answered a questionnaire about their awareness of endodontic treatment and its cost. Awareness of endodontic treatment was low, so it is necessary to disseminate correct informations on endodontic treatment. Endodontic treatment by specialists might be acceptable if its importance and high specialty were understood by patients.
