a Cost-effectiveness plane. The ellipse represents the ICERs within 95% Credible Intervals. Horizontal and vertical axes show the effectiveness and cost differences between root canal treatment and pulpotomy. The red dots represent scenarios in which ICERs were in the North-East quadrant representing increased cost and increased effectiveness for root canal treatment. b Cost-effectiveness acceptability curves; pulpotomy was cost-effective at lower WTP values (99.9% acceptable at 50 USD) whereas by increasing the values of WTP threshold root canal treatment was a cost-effective treatment option (99.9% acceptable at 550 USD)
