“…Our radiological examination based on panoramic radiographs which allowed the collection of a large volume of patient data in university clinics without exposing study participants to excessive radiation. 13,14 Periapical radiographs were just taken when it was necessary. According to World Health Organisation (WHO) socio-cultural risk factors of tooth decay are consist of parameters such as education level, income level and occupation.…”

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.

“…Although several epidemiological studies have used panoramic radiographies (De Moor et al . 2000, Gulsahi et al . 2008), a complete intra-oral radiographic series or cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) yields greater accuracy for the diagnosis of AP (Ridao-Sacie et al .…”

Aim To evaluate whether the presence of apical periodontitis (AP), root canal treatment (RCT) and endodontic burden (EB) – as the sum of AP and RCT sites – were associated with long-term risk of incident cardiovascular events (CVE), including cardiovascular-related mortality, using data on participants in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA). Methodology This retrospective cohort included 278 dentate participants in the BLSA with complete medical and dental examinations. Periodontal disease (PD) and missing teeth were recorded. Total number of AP and RCT sites was determined from panoramic radiographs. EB was calculated as the sum of AP and RCT sites. Oral inflammatory burden (OIB) was calculated combining PD and EB. The main outcome was, incident CVE including angina, myocardial infarction and cardiovascular-related death. Participants were monitored for up to 44 years (mean=17.4±11.1 years) following dental examination. Relative Risks (RR) were calculated through Poisson regression models, estimating the relationship between AP, RCT, EB, PD, OIB and incident CVE. Results Mean age at baseline was 55.0±16.8 years and 51.4% were men. Sixty two participants (22.3%) developed CVE. Bivariate analysis showed that PD, EB, number of teeth and OIB were associated with incident CVE. Multivariate models, adjusted for socio-demographic and medical variables, showed that age≥60 years (RR=3.07, 95%CI=1.68-5.62), hypertension (RR=2.0, 95%CI=1.16-3.46) and EB≥3 (RR=1.77, 95%CI=1.04-3.02) were independently associated with incident CVE. The association between OIB and incident CVE was reduced to non-significance after adjustments (RR=1.97, 95%CI=0.83-4.70). Conclusions EB in mid-life was an independent predictor of CVE among community-dwelling participants in the BLSA. Prospective studies are required to evaluate cardiovascular risk reduction with the treatment of AP.

“…En relación a la edad, Gulsahi et al y Kabak et al (4,15) , muestran en sus estudios una mayor frecuencia de la 4 ta y 5 ta década, con porcentajes del 24% y del 22% respectivamente, lo que se asemeja al nuestro, que tiene en la 5 ta década su mayor frecuencia con un 34.8%, sin embargo, la diferencia en nuestro trabajo es mayor. La mayor frecuencia en pacientes de la 5 ta década, y en general de los grupos etarios más jóvenes, podría deberse a que estos consultan más frente a los problemas dentales que se les presentan, además de poseer una mayor cantidad de dientes y por lo tanto mayor posibilidad de desarrollar la patología.…”

“…Las lesiones asociadas con síntomas importantes, como dolor o inflamación, corresponden a las agudas o sintomáticas, mientras que aquellas que tienen síntomas ligeros o no los tienen corresponden a las crónicas o asintomáticas (1,3) . El mayor reto que presenta el tratamiento de este tipo de patologías es erradicar o reducir sustancialmente la carga microbiana presente en los conductos radiculares mediante una adecuada preparación quimiomecánica y la obturación de dichos conductos permitiendo tanto la reparación de los tejidos como la recuperación de su funcionalidad (3)(4)(5)(6) . Se considera que ha existido reparación, y por tanto éxito de los dientes tratados endodónticamente, cuando existe ausencia de sintomatología clínica asociado a una evidente disminución o ausencia total de la radiolucidez inicial del periápice en los controles radiográficos posteriores (7)(8)(9)(10) .…”

RESUMEN La periodontitis apical es una enfermedad de los tejidos periapicales de etiología bacteriana. Su tratamiento requiere erradicar los microorganismos del conducto radicular y obturarlo para lograr la reparación posterior. El objetivo de éste trabajo fue determinar la frecuencia de periodontitis apical en la población que asiste a la clínica de Endodoncia de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Chile y su relación con diferentes variables: diagnóstico específico, edad, sexo, agudas vs. crónicas, éxito/fracaso del tratamiento y rehabilitación post-tratamiento. Se recolectó información de 292 dientes de pacientes tratados en dicha clínica, analizándose la información de aquellos con dientes diagnosticados con algún tipo de periodontitis apical clasificándolo según la nueva nomenclatura de la asociación de endodoncia americana. La frecuencia de periodontitis apical fue de un 36.7% (92 pacientes), de los cuales un 77.8% presentaron patologías de tipo crónicas. Un 75% de los pacientes pertenecieron al sexo femenino y la 5 ta década representó un 34.8% de los pacientes. El 100% de los pacientes que acudieron a control presentó éxito en sus tratamientos según variables clínico-radiográficas, mientras que la restauración más frecuente post-tratamiento fue la resina compuesta (52.4%). Dado el pequeño número de pacientes que concurrieron a la citación de control para determinar el éxito del tratamiento, esta variable debe ser considerada como preliminar. Nuestros resultados mostraron que la condición mas frecuente fue la periodontitis apical de tipo crónica, afectando más a mujeres y a la 5 ta década. ABSTRACT Apical periodontitis is a microbially induced inflammatory disease of the periapical tissues. Its treatment requires eliminating microorganism from root canal and sealing it properly to induce further tissue repair. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of apical periodontitis and its distribution by gender, age, range, acute vs. chronic, treatment success and rehabilitation in the population attended at the undergraduate clinic of Endodontic at the Faculty of Dentistry, Universidad de Chile. Information was collected from 292 teeth of patients treated at the clinic, recording data of those with teeth diagnosed with some type of apical periodontitis and related to different variables: specific diagnosis, age, gender, acute vs. chronic, successful or failed treatment and post-treatment restoration. The frequency of apical periodontitis was 36.7% (92 patients). 77.8% of the teeth with apical periodontitis had a chronic disease. 75% of the patients were female. The 5 th decade represented a 34.8%. There was a 100% success rate in their treatments, while the most common restoration was the composite (52.4%). The low number of patients who responded to the dental revision to determine the success of the treatment, despite the 100 % rate, cannot be evaluated as a significant result. Our data showed that the most frequent condition was chronic apical periodontitis, affecting more female pati...

Frequency of root‐filled teeth and prevalence of apical periodontitis in an adult Turkish population

Abstract: * The prevalence of apical periodontitis and the frequency of root-filled teeth with apical periodontitis were lower than in comparable populations in other countries. * The number of root-filled teeth was comparable to that found in other epidemiologic studies.
