“…[27][28][29] When controlled diabetic patients were compared with the noncontrolled group, the prevalence of AP was greater than that in the noncontrolled group (18.29 vs 9.21% respectively). This revealed the effect of poor diabetic control on the development of endodontic disease; this consequence of poor control of diabetes was also demonstrated by Sánchez-Domínguez et al, 11 who demonstrated the relationship between glycemic control and periapical disease.…”

Aims:The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of apical periodontitis (AP) in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients compared with nondiabetic patients and to examine the effect of glycemic control on the prevalence of AP. Materials and methods:Radiographs of a group of DM patients were compared with those of a matched nondiabetic group to identify AP. The diabetic group was subdivided according to the level of glycemic control into two subgroups: A well-controlled DM and a poorly controlled DM. The periapical index score was used to assess the periapical status. All groups were compared in regard to the presence of AP lesions, the number of endodontically treated teeth (ET), and the percentage of failure of endodontically treated teeth (AP/ET ratio). Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS version 20.0, Chicago, Illinois, USA) was used for all the analyses; p ≤ 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results:The prevalence of AP was higher in diabetic group than in the nondiabetic group (13.5 vs 11.9% respectively). Diabetic group had more teeth with endodontic treatment ET compared with nondiabetic group (4.18 vs 1.82% respectively); this difference was statistically significant (p = 0.001) along with higher AP/ET ratio (27.7 vs 19.3 respectively). The poorly controlled DM group had a higher prevalence of AP lesions compared with the well-controlled DM group (18.29 vs 9.21 respectively). This difference was statistically significant (p = 0.001); they also had a higher percentage of ET (5.55 vs 3.13% respectively) and AP/ ET ratio (32.0 vs 21.8% respectively). Conclusion:This survey demonstrates a higher prevalence of AP in DM patients compared with nondiabetic group, with an increased prevalence of persistent chronic AP. Compared with a well-controlled diabetic group, a poor glycemic control may be associated with a higher prevalence of AP and increased rate of endodontic failures. Clinical significance: Counseling diabetic patients, particularly those with poor glycemic control, about the risk of failure of endodontic treatment can be part of planning management, which could include refereeing diabetic patients who need endodontic treatment for consultant care.

“…In 1969, Storms [7] was unable to detect a correlation between the health of the patient and the treatment outcome, while more recent studies identified this parameter as having a strong influence on the success rates of root canal treatment [3,16,17]. Systemic diseases like diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and coronary artery disease are obviously associated with an increased risk of tooth extraction after nonsurgical root canal treatment [16][17][18].…”

Nickel-titanium (NiTi) root canal instruments have improved the technical quality of enlarging and shaping. These instruments have been shown to prepare even severely curved root canal with fewer procedural errors than traditional stainless steel hand instruments. While it would appear that these instruments might enhance clinical outcomes, very few studies have assessed their impact when used in primary root canal treatment. Clinical studies investigating the outcome of primary root canal treatment using nickel-titanium hand or rotary instruments were identified (MEDLINE database) using appropriate key words in an attempt to determine if there have been enhanced outcomes with these instruments. Evidence from one clinical trial suggests that (i) better maintenance of the original canal curvature and shape results in increased success rates and (ii) that ledging of root canals results in reduced success rates. Evidence from two studies indicates that the use of NiTi-either hand or rotary-instruments significantly increases success rates of primary nonsurgical root canal treatment compared with the use of stainless steel hand instruments, while three investigations failed to show any significant differences.

“…The studies that have analyzed the possible association between HTN and endodontic variables have found that HTN contributes to decreased retention of root-filled teeth (5,6), but it is not significantly associated with dental periapical condition (7).…”
