		Recommend a friend	Satisfaction with dental practitioner	Self-confidence levels
Recommend a friend	Pearson correlation	1	.387∗∗	.258∗∗

^∗∗Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed). The table indicates that there is a significant relationship between recommending a friend for dental implants and the satisfaction with the dental practitioner: r = 0.387, n = 180, and p = 0.001. In addition, there is a significant relationship between the satisfaction with the dental practitioner and the self-confidence levels of the patient: r = 0.285, n = 176, and p = 0.001.
