“…Previously, association between RA and periapical rarefying osteitis has been studied, and it has been reported that there is no association between periapical rarefying osteitis and RA ( 11 ). This is inconsistent with the result of the present study.…”

“…The sample size calculation was performed based on the data of a previous study that evaluated the prevalence of RA and periapical rarefying osteitis ( 11 ) with an effect size of 0.1, error of alpha=0.05, and a power of 0.8. Calculation revealed that 1283 teeth is sufficient for 2 groups.…”

“…Although, several studies have revealed an association between RA and periodontitis ( 8 - 10 ), there is no evidence suggesting that there is an association between RA and AP. Previously, Jalali et al ( 11 ) conducted a retrospective study and compared the prevalence of periapical rarefying osteitis in the case of RA and control patients. They reported that there was no statistically significant difference between RA and control patients in terms of the prevalence of periapical rarefying osteitis.…”

Objective: The present cross-sectional study aimed to investigate possible association between Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Apical Periodontitis (AP). Methods: In table one it is mentioned 48 patients diagnosed with RA were included in the experimental group. Another 48 healthy age- and gender-matched participants who reported no history of any systemic disease were selected to form the control group. All the patients were examined radiographically and clinically to diagnose the presence of AP. The following data was recorded for all patients; the number of teeth present, the number of teeth with AP, the number of patients with AP, the number of patients with root canal treated teeth (RCT) and the number of patients with RCT+AP. The chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used to determine the possible association between RA and AP. Results: A total of 1026 teeth were examined in the RA group and 45 of them was diagnosed as AP. In the control group, 1025 teeth were examined and 21 teeth were diagnosed as AP. It was found that the prevalence of teeth with AP (4.3%) was significantly higher in the RA group than the control (2%) (odds ratio [OR]=2.193, P=0.003). Logistic regression analysis showed that RA is significantly associated with AP. Conclusion: It can be concluded that patients with RA can be more prone to develop AP.

“…10 The periapical status of multi-rooted teeth was determined by the highest PAI score of all roots. 11 The sample size was based on the data of the study's evaluated association between periapical rarefying osteitis and AP, 12 with an effect size of 0.1, an error of alpha equal to 0.05 and a power of 0.8. The IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, v. 20 software (IBM Corp., Armonk, USA) was used for the statistical analyses at a significance level of 5% (p = 0.05).…”

Association of ankylosing spondylitis with radiographically and clinically diagnosed apical periodontitis: A cross-sectional study

Background. There are no studies evaluating the possible association between ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and apical periodontitis (AP). Objectives. The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to investigate the possible association between AS and AP. Material and methods. Fifty patients diagnosed with AS, receiving treatment at the Rheumatology Clinic in Erzurum, Turkey, were included in the experimental group. Another 50 age-and gender-matched individuals without any history of systemic disease were included in the study as the control group. All patients were examined radiographically and clinically to diagnose the presence of AP. The following data was recorded for all patients: the smoking habit, the number of teeth present, the number of teeth with AP, the number of root canal-treated (RCT) teeth, and the number of RCT teeth with AP. Results. There were 1,283 teeth in the AS group and 1,305 in the control group. There was a significant association between teeth with AP and AS, as the prevalence of teeth with AP was significantly lower in the control group (1.3%) than in the AS group (2.9%) (OR (odds ratio) = 2.250; p = 0.005). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of the number of RCT teeth and RCT teeth with AP (p > 0.05). Conclusions. Ankylosing spondylitis is significantly associated with an increased prevalence of AP. It can be concluded that patients with AS can be more prone to develop AP. However, AS does not reduce the success rate of endodontic treatment, because there was no significant difference between the AS and control groups in terms of RCT teeth with AP.

Purpose of ReviewThis review describes the recent findings from epidemiological studies on endodontic infections. The recent literature was screened for studies on the prevalence of primary apical periodontitis and posttreatment apical periodontitis in various populations.Recent FindingsTwenty-nine articles reporting data on the prevalence of primary or posttreatment apical periodontitis from all over the world were included. The prevalence of apical periodontitis varied between 7 and 86%, while that of posttreatment apical periodontitis varied between 10 and 62%. The quality of the coronal restoration and the root filling appears to be the major predictors of apical periodontitis.SummaryThe recent findings from epidemiological studies on the prevalence of primary and posttreatment apical periodontitis in various populations are not substantially different from those from earlier years. It appears that the health of periapical tissues has not majorly improved in the general population.
