“…32 Contrastly, our results showed that men are the population portion that needs more endodontic treatment (56.7%) This result can be explained with the greater interest of female patients to have dental care and their regular attendance for check-ups. 33,34 Variability exists in the literature regarding whether maxillary or mandibular teeth are most commonly treated endodontically and which tooth types are most frequently treated. 35 Our results revealed that endodontic treatment was more frequent in maxilla and maxillary teeth were more often in need of endodotic treatment.…”

SUMMARY Aim:To determine the distribution and frequency of endodontic treatment and endodontic treatment requirement in permanent teeth. Materials and Methods: Of the 19800 teeth from 775 individuals (age range 16-80 years) were included in the study. All patients were examined clinically and radiologically to determine the teeth requiring endodontic treatment and endodontically treated teeth. For each case, information was collected in a questionnaire including age, gender, education, residence place, income level, frequency of tooth brushing and dental visit. Obtained data were statistically analyzed by using chi-square test with a significance level at p<0,05. Results: Out of 19800 teeth, the frequency of teeth requiring endodontic treatment and endodontically treated teeth was 3% and 4%, respectively. Presence of endodontic treatment showed statistical difference between age subgroups (p<0.05). Gender, frequency of tooth brushing and dental visit had effect on the endodontic treatment requirement (p<0.05). Conclusion:This study provides an epidemiological data about endodontic treatment in a Turkish population. Such datas will help to identify public dental health problems which will constitute an essential step in improving the general health status of the citizens of this country.

“…In the evaluation of the quality of RF, various criteria were used in the selected studies: three studies used the distance of the endodontic filling from the root apex, 16,21,23 three studies used the filling density and its distance from the apex, 17,18,25 three studies defined the parameter as being the presence of filling material in the root canal 1,9,19 four studies preferred criteria proposed by other authors 20,22,26,27 and in one article the authors created their own guidelines 24 ( Table 1). …”

“…In the analysis of multi root teeth by PAI, some researchers included only the highest score, 22,23,25,26 others preferred to use the lowest 1,19 and some did not mention this information. 9,[16][17][18]20,21,24,27 This difference in the diagnostic parameters is another factor that makes it difficult to compare the data between the selected articles in this present review.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between root fillings and the presence of apical periodontitis in studies with samples containing elderly patients. The data were obtained by means of a systematic review of studies that evaluated the quality of root fillings and their relationship with periapical health. 1,376 potentially relevant articles were selected, of which 667 were repeated and 16 were duplicates. 693 abstracts were analyzed, with 608 of these being excluded and 85 selected for reading in full. Fourteen (14) articles were included, totaling data of 135,566 teeth. Of these, 13,704 (10.1%) had endodontic fillings, with 6,455 (47.1%) being considered adequate and 7,249 (52.9%) inadequate. Among the teeth with apical periodontitis, 2,084 (32.3%) had adequate endodontic fillings and 3,749 (51.6%) had inadequate fillings. There was a significant correlation between the quality of endodontic fillings considered adequate and lower frequency of apical periodontitis in elderly patients.

“…A literature survey indicated that most previous studies were performed among Scandinavian students and the U.S. Air Force [9,10]. In Turkey, no epidemiological research has been published regarding missing teeth, restored teeth (with either direct or indirect restoratives), implants, or impacted teeth, although two studies regarding pulp and periapical status [11,12] and one study on the mandibular cortex index of the Turkish population were reported [13].…”

Objectives The present study was performed to assess the total and average numbers of radiopaque restorations, missing or impacted teeth, root-canal fillings, crown-fixed partial dentures, and implants in 3,031 radiographs of patients with respect to age and gender in an urban Turkish population. Methods In total, 3,031 panoramic radiographs were examined. The study included all patients examined at the Faculty of Dentistry, Baskent University, Turkey. The total and average numbers of radiopaque restorations, missed or impacted teeth, root-canal fillings, crown-fixed partial dentures, and implants were assessed. The patients were categorized into two groups with respect to age and gender. The patients were further divided into four subgroups with respect to age (14-30, 31-45, 46-60, and [60 years), each of which was evaluated separately. Results Molar teeth were the most frequently restored or missing teeth. The number of posterior restorations increased with age up to 45 but seemed to decrease in the 46-60 and over 60-year-old subgroups. However, the number of missing teeth, and thus fixed partial dentures, and root-canal treatments increased in these subgroups. The number of implants increased with age. Although women had more restored teeth, they also had fewer missing teeth. The total number of restorations on the right side of the mouth was higher than that on the left side. Conclusion This study revealed the oral condition of an urban Turkish population. Future multicenter studies conducted periodically will help evaluate the parameters mentioned above regarding the oral-health status of the Turkish population and quality of the dental-care system in Turkey.

Cross‐sectional evaluation of the periapical status and quality of root canal treatment in a selected population of urban Turkish adults

Abstract: The radiographic quality of root fillings correlated with periapical radiographic signs of pathosis in a selected population of Turkish adults. There is a need to improve the standards of root canal treatment in the study population.
