Strongly Agree | Agree | Unsure | Disagree | Strongly Disagree | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
I feel there is a need for further trials to evaluate outcomes following different irrigating solutions | 265 (28.0%) | 538 (56.8%) | 91 (9.6%) | 47 (5.0%) | 7 (0.7%) |
I feel there is a need for further trials to evaluate outcomes with different irrigating pressures | 203 (21.6%) | 527 (56.0%) | 144 (15.3%) | 61 (6.5%) | 6 (0.6%) |
I feel there is a need for studies on the cost-effectiveness of different irrigating solutions | 203 (21.5%) | 471 (49.9%) | 166 (17.6%) | 93 (9.9%) | 11 (1.2%) |
I would change my practice if a large randomized controlled trial showed clear benefit of an irrigating solution if it was different than my current irrigating solution | 504 (53.4%) | 385 (40.8%) | 37 (3.9%) | 10 (1.1%) | 8 (0.8%) |
