ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Estudiar con tomografías computadas de haz cónico (CBCT) las lesiones perirradiculares de primeros molares superiores tratados endodónticamente; evaluar la lo- calización y, en los que tenían lesión en la raíz mesiovestibu- lar (MV), evaluar la frecuencia del conducto MV2. Materiales y métodos: A partir de una muestra de 179 tomografías, que incluían primeros molares superiores, se seleccionaron y analizaron aquellas en las cuales estos ha- bían recibido un tratamiento endodóntico previo, presentaban lesiones perirradiculares y conservaban una restauración co- ronaria. Las variables analizadas fueron: la localización de áreas radiolúcidas compatibles con lesiones perirradiculares de origen endodóntico y la correlación entre diferentes loca- lizaciones y la calidad del tratamiento realizado (adecuado, defectuoso o sin tratamiento). Los datos fueron analizados mediante la prueba de chi-cuadrado y la prueba de Spearman. Resultados: De las 179 CBCT que incluían primeros molares superiores, 90 reunían las condiciones requeridas. La frecuencia de las lesiones perirradiculares fue significativa- mente mayor en la raíz MV al compararla con las raíces disto- vestibular y palatina (p<0,05). El conducto MV1 presentó un tratamiento adecuado en todos los casos. El conducto MV2 recibió un tratamiento adecuado en 4 casos (4,44%), defec- tuoso en 4 casos (4,44%) y no tratado en 82 casos (91,1%); con una diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p<0,05). Conclusiones: En la muestra analizada, la localización de lesiones perirradiculares postratamiento endodóntico en primeros molares superiores se encontró con mayor frecuencia asociada a la raíz mesiovestibular, donde en la mayoría de los casos el con- ducto MB2 no fue tratado o presentó un tratamiento defectuoso (AU)


Aim: To study with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) the periradicular lesions of maxillary first molars with endodontical treatment; to evaluate its localization and, in those with a mesiobuccal root (MB) injury, assess the fre- quency of the MB2 root canal. Materials and methods: From a sample of 179 tomog- raphies (CBCT) that included maxillary first molars, those in which they had received previous endodontic treatment, pre- sented periradicular lesions and had a coronary restoration were selected and analyzed. The analyzed variables were: localization of radiolucent areas compatible with periradic- ular lesions of endodontic origin and the correlation between different localizations and quality of the performed treatment (adequate, defective, or untreated). Data were analyzed by the chi-square test and the Spearman test. Results: Of the 179 CBCT that included maxillary first molars, 90 met the required conditions. The frequency of periradicular lesions was significantly higher in the MB root when compared with distobuccal and palatal roots (P<0,05). The MB1 canal presented an adequate treatment in all cas- es. The MB2 canal received adequate treatment in 4 cases (4.44%), a defective one in 4 cases (4.44%) and was untreated in 82 cases (91.1%). The differences among these frequencies were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions: In the analyzed sample, the localization of periradicular lesions after endodontic treatment in maxillary first molars was associated more frequently with the mesio- buccal root in which in the majority of cases the MB2 canal was untreated or presented a defective treatment

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Evaluar radiográficamente tratamientos en- dodónticos del sector posterior de la cavidad bucal y com- parar la frecuencia de aceptabilidad en cada pieza dentaria involucrada. Materiales y métodos: Se evaluaron 5000 radiogra- fías de archivo de tratamientos endodónticos realizados apro- ximadamente entre 2005 y 2019 en premolares y molares mandibulares y maxilares en Argentina. Se consideraron tratamientos correctos e incorrectos de acuerdo con: 1) con- formación de la preparación quirúrgica; 2) límite apical de la obturación; 3) homogeneidad de la obturación. Se obtuvo la fre- cuencia absoluta y relativa de correctos e incorrectos. El aná- lisis entre frecuencias y pieza dentaria se realizó con la prueba de chi cuadrado y el cálculo del coeficiente V de Cramer. Para la comparación entre grupos de piezas dentarias se utilizó la partición del valor de chi cuadrado obtenido en los corres- pondientes grados de libertad. Nivel de significación P <0.05. Resultados: La partición del valor de chi cuadrado no mostró diferencias significativas entre primeros y segundos premolares mandibulares. Las otras comparaciones exhibie- ron diferencias significativas. Conclusiones: Un alto porcentaje de los tratamientos endodónticos de la población estudiada tiene por lo menos una condición que permite categorizarlos como incorrectos según el criterio establecido en este trabajo. Este porcentaje es más preponderante en anatomías complejas (AU)


Aim: To evaluate radiographically endodontic treat- ments performed in the posterior area of the oral cavity and compare the frequency of acceptability in each tooth involved. Materials and methods: 5,000 archival radiographs of endodontic treatments performed between 2005 and 2019 on mandibular and maxillary premolars and molars in Argentina were evaluated. The percentages of correct and incorrect treatments were considered according to 1) shaping of the preparation; 2) apical limit of the obturation; 3) homogeneity of the obturation. The absolute and relative frequencies of correct and incorrect treatments were calcu- lated. The association between these frequencies and tooth type was analyzed using the chi-square test and Cramer's V coefficient. For the comparison between groups of teeth, the partition of the chi-square value obtained in the corre- sponding degrees of freedom was used. Level of significance was P <0.05. Results: The partition of the chi-square value did not show a significant difference between the first and second lower premolars. The differences were significant in the other comparisons. Conclusions: A high percentage of the endodontic treat- ments in the study population have at least one condition war- ranting their classification as incorrect according to the crite- ria established in this study. This percentage is more prevalent in complex anatomies (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar el grado de concordancia entre alumnos y docentes de dife- rentes unidades académicas en la evaluación radiográfica de tratamientos endodónticos realizados en dientes humanos "ex vivo". Materiales y métodos: Un docente y un alumno de grado pertenecientes a siete unidades académicas, dos cáte- dras de Endodoncia de Argentina y una de México, Ecuador, España, Chile y Portugal evaluaron radiográficamente 357 tratamientos endodónticos realizados "ex vivo" por estu- diantes de grado. De acuerdo con su criterio individual, de- terminaron si cada uno de esos tratamientos podía ser con- siderado como correcto o incorrecto. El coeficiente Kappa fue utilizado para el análisis estadístico. Resultados: El valor de Kappa fue entre 0,04 y 0,30 considerado como indicador de escasa concordancia y varió según la unidad académica en la que se habían registrado los datos. Conclusión: El nivel de concordancia en la categoriza- ción del resultado de la evaluación radiográfica de tratamien- tos endodónticos varía entre alumnos de grado y docentes de las distintas unidades académicas (AU)


Aim: To analyse the degree of agreement between stu- dents and teachers at different academic units regarding the radiographic evaluation of endodontic treatments performed on human teeth "ex vivo". Materials and methods: One teacher and one student from seven Academic units, two Departments of Endodontics in Argentina and one each in Mexico, Ecuador, Spain, Chile and Portugal conducted a radiographic evaluation of 357 endodontic treatments performed by undergraduate students. According to their individual criteria, they determined wheth- er the treatments were adequate or inadequate. Kappa coeffi- cient was used for statistical analysis. Results: The Kappa value was between 0.04 and 0.30, considered as an indicator of poor agreement, and varied ac- cording to the academic institution where the data had been recorded. Conclusion: The level of agreement in classifying the re- sults of the radiographic evaluation of endodontic treatments varies between undergraduate students and teachers at the different academic units (AU)

ABSTRACT

Se presentan los casos de fracturas verticales sintomáticos que ameritaron la extracción de las órganos dentales afectados en un periodo de cinco meses durante la pandemia por COVID-19 en la ciudad de Chihuahua, México. Material y métodos: Se recolectaron 26 muestras para el estudio, proporcionadas por los cirujanos dentistas integrantes del Grupo de Egresados de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua. Resultados: Los resultados muestran diferencias a lo reportado previamente respecto al tipo de diente involucrado, sexo de los pacientes, restauraciones coronales y tratamientos endodóncicos previos. Conclusiones: Se puede suponer que las modificaciones en el estilo de vida de la población, sumadas a la angustia permanente, pueden ser factores que contribuyen a las fracturas dentales (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Describir una experiencia de capacitación de alumnos de grado en la evaluación radiográfica de tratamientos endodónticos realizados ex vivo. Material y métodos: Participaron un docente y 13 alumnos, cada uno de los cuales evaluó radiográficamente 100 tratamientos endodónticos realizados ex vivo para determinar si estos eran correctos o incorrectos. Posteriormente, el mismo docente, en una clase teórica, presentó a los alumnos otras imágenes radiográficas a fin de calibrar qué debería considerarse correcto o incorrecto. Luego fueron proyectadas nuevamente las radiografías de los 100 casos, y los alumnos efectuaron una nueva valoración. Para cada alumno, se determinó la frecuencia de concordancia con el docente en los 100 casos, antes y después de la calibración. Se categorizó cada observación como sin cambio, positiva (precalibración sin concordancia y poscalibración con concordancia) y negativa (precalibración con concordancia y poscalibración sin concordancia). En cada caso se calcularon la frecuencia para cada categoría, la frecuencia de concordancia entre cada alumno y el docente antes y después de la calibración, y la diferencia entre frecuencias. Resultados: La frecuencia absoluta de casos con concordancia alumno/docente sin cambios fue entre 65 y 85; con cambio positivo, entre 14 y 29; y con cambio negativo, entre 1 y 8. La concordancia antes y después de la calibración resultó entre 37% y 79,2%. Conclusión: La calibración mejoró parcialmente la capacitación de los alumnos para la evaluación radiográfica de los tratamientos endodónticos (AU)


Aim: To describe one experience of calibration in the radiographic evaluation of 100 endodontic treatments performed ex vivo in undergraduate students. Material and methods: One professor and 13 undergraduate students participated in this study, who independently radiographically evaluated 100 ex vivo endodontic treatments and determined whether each case was correct or incorrect. Later, the same professor presented a theoretical class to the students with other radiographic images in order to calibrate the difference between correct and incorrect treatments. Then the radiographs of the same 100 cases were projected and the students made a new evaluation. The frequency of agreement with the teacher was determined for each student in the 100 cases before and after the calibration. Each observation was categorized as without change, with positive change (pre-calibration without agreement and post-calibration with agreement) and with negative change (pre-calibration with agreement and post-calibration without agreement). The frequency for each category was calculated for each student. In each of the cases, the frequency of students in which concordances with the teacher were observed before and after calibration, and the difference between both frequencies were calculated. Results: The absolute frequency of cases with agreement of the students/teacher without changes varied between 65 and 85, with a positive change between 14 and 29 and a negative change between 1 and 8. The concordance before and after calibration varied between 37.0% and 79.2%. Conclusion: Calibration partially improved the training of students in radiographic evaluation of endodontic treatments (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Evaluar radiográficamente 162 tratamientos endodónticos realizados ex vivo en premolares inferiores y superiores humanos mediante el empleo del sistema ProTaper Next por parte de alumnos de grado de una cátedra de endodoncia de una universidad argentina. Materiales y métodos: Se evaluaron 162 tratamientos endodónticos realizados ex vivo durante los años 2017, 2018 y 2019 (54 por cohorte) en premolares inferiores y superiores humanos por alumnos de grado de la cátedra de Endodoncia I de la Escuela de Odontología de la Universidad del Salvador / Asociación Odontológica Argentina. Para la instrumentación fue empleado el sistema ProTaper Next. La muestra se tomó de forma aleatoria. En un programa de presentación de computadora se incluyeron las radiografías periapicales pre- y posoperatoria para su evaluación. Un evaluador externo analizó las imágenes radiográficas de los tratamientos y los categorizó como correctos o incorrectos teniendo en cuenta tres requisitos excluyentes: la conformación de la preparación quirúrgica, el límite apical y la homogeneidad de la obturación. Para el análisis estadístico, se utilizó la frecuencia relativa (intervalo de confianza 95%) y la prueba de chi-cuadrado. Resultados: La evaluación radiográfica de los tratamientos endodónticos realizados mostró un número considerable de tratamientos correctos. Los resultados para cada cohorte (años 2017, 2018 y 2019) fueron del 96,3% (87,2- 99,5%), el 94,4% (84,6-98,8%) y el 98,2% (90,1-99,9%) respectivamente. El porcentaje global de tratamientos correctos fue del 96,3% (92,1-98,6%). La diferencia entre las cohortes no fue estadísticamente significativa (P>0,05). Conclusión: El empleo del sistema ProTaper Next por parte de estudiantes de grado evaluados mostró resultados radiográficamente satisfactorios en la instrumentación ex vivo de conductos radiculares de premolares inferiores y superiores humanos (AU)


Aim: To evaluate radiographically, 162 endodontic treatments performed ex vivo by three cohorts of students from a school of dentistry in Argentina, using ProTaper Next rotatory system in mandibular and maxillary human premolars. Materials and methods: 162 mandibular and maxillary human premolars received endodontic treatment by undergraduate students from the Department of Endodontics I of the School of Dentistry USAL/AOA. The treatments were performed ex vivo during the academic years 2017, 2018 and 2019 (54 teeth were chosen for each cohort) using the rotatory system ProTaper Next. The samples were taken randomly. Pre and postoperative radiographs were included in a computer presentation program for its evaluation. An external examiner analysed the radiographic images by the shape of the preparation, the apical limit, and the homogeneity of the obturation, considering the treatments well obturated (correct) or ill obturated (incorrect). To be considered correct the case had to meet all the requirements. The statistic calculations used in this study were: relative frequency (confidence interval 95%) and the chi-square test. Results: The radiographic evaluation showed a considerable number of endodontic treatments correctly done using ProTaper Next system. The percentages for each cohort were 96.3% (87.2-99.5%), 94.4% (84.6-98.8%) y 98.2% (90.1-99.9%) for years 2017, 2018 y 2019 respectively. Global percentage of correctly endodontic treatments was 96.3% (92.1-98.6%). The difference between the cohorts was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion: The use of ProTaper Next by the dental students evaluated showed satisfactory results in the ex vivo instrumentation of mandibular and maxillary human premolar root canals (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Evaluar radiográficamente, en dientes extraídos, el grado de homogeneidad y adaptación de las obturaciones endodónticas realizadas por alumnos de grado, comparando las técnicas de condensación lateral e híbrida. Materiales y métodos: Entre 2003 y 2017, los alumnos de tercer año de la Escuela de Odontología de la Universidad del Salvador / Asociación Odontológica Argentina realizaron 5.384 tratamientos endodónticos ex vivo empleando, para la obturación, las técnicas de condensación lateral e híbrida. En las radiografías posoperatorias, un docente especialista en endodoncia evaluó la homogeneidad y la adaptación de cada obturación para categorizarla como correcta o incorrecta. Para la comparación entre técnicas, dentro de cada año lectivo, se utilizó la prueba exacta de Fisher, y para el análisis porcentual de las observaciones, la prueba de Chi cuadrado. El nivel de significancia fue establecido en P<0,05. Resultados: Del total de 5.384 tratamientos, 4.970 (92,3%) mostraron obturaciones correctas. Con la técnica de condensación lateral, de los 1.741 tratamientos, 1.560 (89,6%) mostraron obturaciones correctas con la técnica híbrida, de los 3.643 tratamientos, 3.410 (93,6%) tuvieron obturaciones correctas. En función del tamaño total de las muestras, sumando todos los años, puede estimarse con 95% de confianza que la diferencia de obturaciones incorrectas entre ambas técnicas está entre el 2,3% y el 5,7%. Con la prueba del Chi cuadrado, se observa una diferencia significativa de obturaciones correctas a favor de la técnica híbrida (P<0,01) Conclusiones: La evaluación radiográfica de los tratamientos endodónticos realizados ex vivo por alumnos de pregrado mostró un alto porcentaje de obturaciones correctas. Así mismo, el empleo de la técnica híbrida dio, en general, mejores resultados de compactación de la masa del material obturador que la técnica de condensación lateral (AU)


Aim: To evaluate radiographically the degree of homogeneity and adaptation of endodontic obturations completed by undergraduate students in extracted teeth using lateral and hybrid condensation techniques. Materials and methods: Between 2003 and 2017, third year students of a the School of Dentistry of the Universidad del Salvador / Asociación Odontológica Argentina performed 5384 ex vivo endodontic treatments using lateral condensation and hybrid technique. In the postoperative radiographs, a specialist in endodontics assessed the homogeneity and adaptation of each obturation and categorize it as correct or incorrect. The data were submitted to statistical analysis to compare results obtained with the two techniques. Fisher and Chi-square tests were used and significance level was set at P<0.05. Results: Out of 5384 treatments, 4970 (92.3%) showed correct obturation. Within the 1741 treatments completed with the lateral condensation technique, 1560 (89.6%) were correct while within the 3634 where a hybrid technique was used, 3410 (93.6%) were correct. When the whole sample was considered (sum of treatment carried out during each of the academic years) a statistically significant difference (P<0.01) favoring the hybrid technique was found. The difference in incorrect cases can be estimated to be between 2.3% and 5.7% with 95% confidence. Conclusions: The radiographic evaluation completed by undergraduate students in extracted teeth showed a high percentage of correct fillings. The use of the hybrid technique showed, in general, better compaction of the obturation material than the lateral condensation technique (AU)

ABSTRACT

Abstract The aim of this study was to assess self-reported history of root canal treatment (SRHRCT) as a method for detecting the presence of root canal treatment (RCT) and apical periodontitis (AP) in a southern Brazilian subpopulation. In this cross-sectional study, 136 military police officers from the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil, were included. The participants were interviewed and full-mouth periapical radiographs were taken. A calibrated examiner determined the presence of RCT and AP by applying standardized criteria. The diagnostic accuracy of SRHRCT was calculated separately for RCT and AP. Accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values (+PV and -PV), efficiency, and positive and negative likelihood ratios (+LR and -LR) were estimated. The mean age of the participants was 34.1 ± 10.4 years and 88.2% were males. Overall, SRHRCT demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity for RCT, but not for AP: sensitivity (RCT = 0.960, AP = 0.757) and specificity (RCT = 0.835, AP = 0.631). The estimated values for PV and LR were: +PV (RCT=0.777, AP=0.396), -PV (RCT = 0.972, AP = 0.890), +LR (RCT = 5.853, AP = 2.057), and -LR (RCT = 0.046, AP = 0.383). SRHRCT proved to be a good predictor of the presence of RCT, but a weak predictor of AP in this subpopulation.

ABSTRACT

Abstract: The objective of this study was to analyze the epidemiological profile of oral health of Sateré-Mawé indigenous people living in Barreirinha, Amazonas (AM), Brazil, and the Tikuna indigenous people living in the urban area of Manaus (AM), in addition to characterizing the need for endodontic treatment between the two ethnic groups. A total of 138 individuals participated in the study, of whom 98 were Tikuna and 40 were Sateré-Mawé; they were distributed in age groups ranging from seven to 75 years. A very high prevalence of caries was observed in both ethnic groups. For the Sateré-Mawé in the 7-12 age group, the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index presented a mean value of 3.17. Comparing the DMFT index and the need for endodontic treatment in each of the ethnicities, these variables were found to be correlated, because as the DMFT index increases, the chances of needing endodontic treatment increase. The Sateré-Mawé presented a higher prevalence of need for endodontic treatment compared to the Tikuna. The association of comorbidities and the need for endodontic treatment were demonstrated only in the Tikuna, and there was only a correlation of this necessity with the presence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in one case. The need to expand access to oral health in these communities is emphasized, taking into account geographical access and technological, environmental, linguistic, and cultural barriers.

ABSTRACT

Antecedentes: Los estudios epidemiológicos clínicos no permiten saber la situación de la patología pulpar y periapical de origen endodóntico, información que puede ser obtenida con el análisis de radiografías panorámicas, para la prevención y la orientación en los servicios de salud oral. Objetivo: Determinar la frecuencia y las características de los hallazgos endodónticos en radiografías panorámicas digitales. Métodos: Se analizaron 1.500 panorámicas digitales, de pacientes mayores de 18 años, de las que se registraron el número de dientes en boca, número de dientes con tratamiento endodóntico y su estado, zona radiolúcida periapical, fractura, reabsorción, instrumentos fracturados, perforaciones, pulpolitos e hipercementosis. Resultados: 48 % de las radiografías presentaban por lo menos un hallazgo endodóntico. 39,5 % correspondían a tratamientos endodónticos, en un total de 1.594 dientes, de las cuales 52,7 % se encontraban subobturados, 44,9 % en buen estado y 2,5 % sobreobturados. El 69 % de los dientes obturados se encontraban en el maxilar superior. 275 (18,3 %) de las radiografías presentaron zona radiolúcida periapical. En el 4,4 % de las radiografías se encontró algún diente con reabsorción. Para ninguno de los hallazgos se encontraron diferencias entre hombres y mujeres. El tratamiento endodóntico y la presencia de zona radiolúcida periapical aumentan significativamente con la edad. Conclusión: la patología pulpar y del periápice tienen una alta prevalencia en la población estudiada y requieren mejores mecanismos para su prevención, siendo la incorrecta obturación de los conductos, una variable a tener en cuenta para evitar las lesiones apicales y mejorar el pronóstico del diente


Background: Clinical epidemiological studies do not allow us to know the status of pulp and periapical disease of endodontic origin, information that can be obtained analyzing panoramic radiographs, so as to provide prevention and counseling services in oral health. Objective: To determine the frequency and characteristics of endodontic findings in digital panoramic radiographs. Methods: We analyzed 1,500 digital panoramic radiographs of patients over 18. The following information was recorded: number of teeth in the mouth, number of teeth with endodontic treatment and condition, periapical radiolucent area, fracture, resorption, broken instruments, perforations, pulp stones and hypercementosis. Results: 48% of the radiographs showed at least one endodontic finding. 39.5% were endodontic treatments in a total of 1,594 teeth, of which 52.7% were underfilled, 44.9% were in good condition and 2.5% were overfilled. 69% of the filled teeth were in the upper jaw. 275 (18.3%) radiographs presented a periapical radiolucent area. 4.4% of the radiographs showed at least one tooth with resorption. No differences between men and women were detected for any of the findings. Endodontic treatment and the presence of a periapical radiolucent area increase significantly with age. Conclusion: Pulp and periapical disease has a high prevalence in the population studied and requires better prevention mechanisms. Inadequate filling of the canals is a variable to consider to avoid apical lesions, and to improve the prognosis of the tooth

ABSTRACT

El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer el estado dental de piezas endodonciadas en correlación conlas variables de restauración coronaria, nivel de estudio, condición laboral y acceso a servicios odontológicos. Para ello, se analizó una población de individuos, compuesta por sujetos concurrentes a los cursos de posgrado de Endodoncia del Círculo Odontológico de Córdoba y al servicio de la Cátedra“B” de Endodoncia de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Se hicieron tratamientos controlados durante dieciocho meses. La muestra total la conformaron 144 pacientes y se trataron 174 casos. Sólo asistieron a control el 48,6 por ciento de los pacientes, de los cuales se evaluaron 89 dientes. El estudio mostró 37 casos con restauración coronaria definitiva sin fracturas, 52 dientes sinrestauración, 21 con fracturas y 1 se perdió. Se observó un incremento de fracturas en control a los 18 meses. La tasa de fracturas evidenció un mayor porcentaje en pacientes con nivel de estudio alto, menor en pacientes sin trabajo, y mayor en pacientes con trabajo estable y precario. El tipo de atención no se diferenció, pero los porcentajes observados sugieren que los atendidos en asistencia pública tendrían más probabilidad de fracturas. Se observó un mayor porcentaje de restauraciones definitivas enatención privada y menor en consultorios públicos.

The aim of this study was to know the dental state of endodontic pieces in correlation with different variables such as coronary restoration, level of study, employment status and access to dental services.To do so, we analyzed a population composed of subjects who participated in two different graduate courses at the Círculo Odontológico de Córdoba and the “Chair B” of Endodontics of the Faculty ofDentistry, National University of Córdoba. Treatments were clinically and radiographically controlled for eighteen months. The total sample included 144 patients and 174 treatments. Only 48.6% patients attended the control, 89 teeth of whom were evaluated. The study showed 37 cases with definitivecoronary restoration without fractures, 52 teeth without restoration, 21 with fractures, and 1 was lost.The fracture rate showed an increase in patients with high level of study, a decrease in unemployed patients, and an increase in both patients with stable and precarious work. The kind of attention didnot differ, but the observed percentages suggest that patients treated in public services would be morelikely to suffer from fractures. There was a higher percentage of definitive restorations in private services,and lower in public ones. The high percentage of non-attendance to controls motivated a specific analysis, from which it is possible to conclude that the more job stability, studies and private access todental services, the more the attendance to controls. These data reveal important evidence in order to establish public policies of post-endodontic services.

ABSTRACT

El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer el estado dental de piezas endodonciadas en correlación conlas variables de restauración coronaria, estado periodontal, nivel de estudio, condición laboral y acceso a servicios odontológicos. Para ello, se analizó una población de individuos compuesta por sujetos concurrentes a los cursos de posgrado de Endodoncia, del Círculo Odontológico de Córdoba, y al servicio de la Cátedra “B” de Endodoncia de la Facultad de Odontología, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Se hicieron tratamientos controlados durante dieciocho meses. La muestra total la conformaron 144 pacientes y se trataron 174 casos. El estudio mostró 37 casos con restauración coronaria definitiva sin fracturas, 52 dientes sin restauración, 21 con fracturas y 1 se perdió. De los dientes restaurados, el55,6 por ciento mostraron periodonto normal; 22,2 por ciento gingivitis, y 22 por ciento periodontitis leve. De los dientes sin restauración, el 3,9 por ciento mostraron periodonto normal; 7,8 por ciento gingivitis; 31,4 por ciento periodontitis leve; 35,3 por ciento periodontitis grave y 21,6 por ciento periodontitis complicada. De los dientes fracturados, el 16,7 por ciento mostraron periodonto normal o gingivitis; 35,3 por ciento periodontitis leve y grave, y un 72,7 por ciento periodontitis complicada. No se demostró asociación entre nivel de estudios, condición laboral y tipo de atención con fracturas de los pacientes, pero los porcentajes sugieren más probabilidad de sufrir fractura en los pacientes de la asistencia pública. El elevado porcentaje de inasistencia a control motivó un análisis específico, del cual se pudo concluir que cuanto más grave la patología periodontal, mayor el porcentaje de inasistencia. El estudio permitió observar desigualdad en el acceso a los servicios odontológicos, dientes no rehabilitados y con compromiso periodontal.


The aim of this study was to know the dental state of endodontic pieces in correlation with different variables such as coronary restoration, periodontic condition, level of study, employment status and access to dental services. A population composed of patients treated in two different postgraduate courses at the Círculo Odontológico de Córdoba and Chair “B” of Endodontics, Faculty of Dentistry,National University of Córdoba were analyzed. Treatments were clinically and radiographicallycontrolled for eighteen months. The total sample included 144 patients and 174 treatments. The studyshowed 37 cases with definitive coronary restoration without fractures, 52 teeth without restoration,21 with fractures, and 1 was lost. From restored teeth, 55.6% showed normal periodontium, 22.2%gingivitis, and 22% mild periodontitis. From teeth without restoration, 3.9% showed normalperiodontitis, 7.8% gingivitis, 31.4% mild periodontitis, 35.3% severe periodontitis and 21.6%complicated periodontitis. From fractured teeth, 16.7% showed normal periodontitis or gingivitis, 35.3% had mild and severe periodontitis, and 72.7% had complicated periodontitis. There has beenno correlation between level of education, work status, and kind of service on patient with fractures,but the percentage suggest that patients in public assistance are more likely to suffer fracture. The highpercentage of non-attendance to control led to a specific analysis, from which it is possible to concludedthat the more severe the periodontal disease, the greater the percentage of non-attendance. The study showed inequality in access to dental services, un rehabilitated teeth and with periodontal compromise.

ABSTRACT

Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the epidemiological and clinical profiles of patients before and after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and the need for endodontic treatment. The subjects included 188 individuals enrolled in the dental care program for transplanted patients of the School of Dentistry, Federal University of Minas Gerais (Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, FO-UFMG) from March 2011 through March 2016. The patients were subjected to an HSCT conditioning dental regimen based on a thorough clinical and radiographic evaluation. Intraoral periapical and bite-wing X-rays were obtained, and after evaluation, specific dental treatment was planned and performed. The following demographic and clinical data were collected from the patients' medical records: age, gender, transplantation stage, primary disease, transplant type, medication used, complete blood count at the time of visit, and need for endodontic treatment. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov and the chi-square tests were used. Leukemia (31.3%) and multiple myeloma (17.9%) were the most prevalent primary diseases. Most patients were subjected to allogeneic-related transplantation (83.6%). Most patients exhibited platelet counts and hemoglobin concentrations below the reference values in the pre-transplantation stage, while the neutrophil and platelet counts and the hemoglobin levels were within the reference ranges in the post-transplantation stage. The proportions of individuals requiring endodontic treatment were similar between the pre- and post-transplantation groups: 24.3% and 24.7%, respectively. The systemic conditions of the patients referred for dental treatment were compromised.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: evaluar radiográficamente la calidad de 700 tratamientos endodónticos realizados a nivel nacional entre los años 2004 y 2014. Materiales y métodos: en un total de 700 tratamientos endodónticos de incisivos y caninos inferiores y superiores humanos, se analizó la calidad de la obturación endodóntica en relación con su límite apical, homogeneidad, material empleado y el respeto de la anatomía original. Asimismo, fueron consideradas la restauración coronaria y la existencia de anclajes intrarradiculares. En cuanto a la calidad global, se calculó la frecuencia porcentual de casos incorrectos y el correspondiente intervalo de confianza (95 por ciento). Resultados: se observó un 48,1 +- 3,7 por ciento de tratamientos deficientes. Del total de dientes evaluados clínicamente, el 26,7 por ciento presentaba restauraciones coronarias, el 65,9 por ciento coronas y el 7,4 por ciento obturaciones temporarias o ausencia de restauración. En el análisis radiográfico, el 63 por ciento tenía anclajes intrarradiculares. Conclusión: la frecuencia de tratamientos deficientes hallada es una información relevante al establecer políticas para la atención de la salud y la formación de recursos profesionales.


Aim: the radiographic evaluation the quality of 700 endodontic treatments performed during 2004-2014, in the national environment. Materials and methods: The endodontic obturationquality in relation to the apical limit, homogeneity, material usedand the original anatomic consideration were analyzed in 700 radiographic images from human maxillary and mandibular incisors and canines. The coronal restoration and the presence of intracanal anchorage were also considered. In the case of overal lquality, percent frequency of incorrect treatments as well as thecorresponding confidence interval (95%) was calculated. Results: 48.1 ± 3.7% of deficient treatments were observed. From the total of the clinical evaluated teeth 26.7% showed coronal restorations, 65.9% crowns and 7.4% temporaryor absent coronal fillings. In the radiographic analysis 63% showed intracanal anchorage. Conclusion: The frequency of deficient treatments thatwas found is relevant information that has to be taken intoaccount when establishing policies for health care servicesand professional training.

ABSTRACT

Introducción El éxito endodóntico está determinado por la calidad de los tratamientos de canales radiculares y restaurador, en conjunto con la ausencia de signos y síntomas. Objetivo Determinar el porcentaje de éxito de tratamientos de conductos y su relación con el tipo y la calidad de la restauración coronaria. Material y métodos Se realizó un estudio clínico retrospectivo en donde se evaluaron 227 dientes sometidos a tratamiento de canales radiculares con 4 años de evolución, por un dentista contralor, que realizó el examen clínico y radiográfico de estos dientes, evaluando los signos y síntomas que presentaron y el tipo y la calidad del tratamiento restaurador. Los datos se analizaron mediante el programa estadístico STATA 13. Resultados En los tratamientos evaluados existe un porcentaje de éxito del 93,8% y un 6,2% de fracaso, además de una asociación significativa en cuanto a que los dientes con una restauración coronaria adecuada, directa o indirecta, están relacionados con tratamientos considerados como exitosos, mediante test de Fisher (valor p < 0,01) con un nivel de confianza del 95%. Conclusiones Los resultados obtenidos en este estudio muestran un alto porcentaje de éxito de los dientes tratados endodónticamente (93,8%) y que existe una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre la calidad de la obturación y la sintomatología (p < 0,01) con un nivel de confianza del 95%.


Introduction Success in endodontic treatment is determined by the quality of the root canal treatment and definitive coronal restoration, with the absence of signs and symptoms. Objective The aim of this study was to determine the success rate of root canal treatment and its relationship with the type and quality of the coronary restoration. Material and methods A retrospective clinical study was conducted on 227 endodontically treated teeth over a period of 4 years. The analysis was performed by a comptroller dentist, who carried out the clinical and radiographical examination, evaluating signs and symptoms and the type and quality of the coronary restoration. The data analysis was performed using the STATA 13 statistics program. Results The results obtained show that there is a success rate of 93.8% and a 6.2% failure rate of the teeth evaluated. There was also significant evidence as regards teeth with proper restorations, whether direct or indirect, and root canal treatments considered as successful, according to Fisher's Test (P<.01), with a confidence level of 95%. Conclusions It can be concluded with the results obtained, that there is a high success rate (93.8%), and that there is a statistically significant association between the quality of the restoration and the presence of symptoms.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is the most prevalent genetic disease worldwide. Recurrent vaso-occlusive infarcts predispose SCA patients to infections, which are the primary causes of morbidly and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between SCA and endodontic diseases. Personal information, medical data (hematological indices, virologic testing, blood transfusions, medications received, splenectomy) and information on the need for endodontic treatment were obtained from SCA patients who were registered and followed up by the Fundação Hemominas, Minas Gerais, Brazil.These data were compared with the need for root canal treatment in SCA patients. One hundred eight patients comprised the studied population, and the rate of the need for endodontic therapy was 10.2%. Among the medical data, a significant difference was observed for eosinophil (p = 0.045) counts and atypical lymphocyte counts (p = 0.036) when the groups (with and without the need for endodontic treatment) were compared. Statistical relevance was observed when comparing the patients with and without the need for root canal therapy concerned eosinophil counts and atypical lymphocyte counts. The differences in statistical medical data, observed between the groups suggest that both parameters are naturally connected to the stimulation of the immune system that can occur in the presence of root canal infections and that can be harmful to SCA individuals.

ABSTRACT

El propósito de este estudio fue determinar clínicamente la frecuencia de aparición del segundo conducto radicular mesiovestibulardel primer molar superior y la frecuencia de desembocadura del conducto en uno o más forámenes apicales. Métodos: Se realizó el tratamiento de conducto en 55 pacientes con derivación a endodoncia del primer molar superior permanente, realizado por el mismo operador y utilizando magnificación con microscopio clínico. Se consideró la presencia de uno o más conductos radiculares en la raíz mesiovestibular luego de la instrumentación de los conductos y se determinó el número de forámenes apicales al introducir las limas depermeabilidad apical, simultáneamente, a una longitud mayor a la longitud de trabajo. Se utilizó el método score de Wilson para calcular intervalos de confianza 95 por ciento de porcentajes (IC95). Resultados: Se registró que de los 55 pacientes tratados, la raíz mesiovestibular presentaba, en el 21,82 por ciento [IC95=(12,95 por ciento; 34,37 por ciento)], un solo conducto desembocando en un solo foramen apical, el 30,91 por ciento [IC95=(20,28 por ciento; 44,03 por ciento)] presentaron dos conductos radiculares con un solo foramen apical y el 47,27 por ciento [IC95=(34,69 por ciento;60,21 por ciento)] presentaron dos conductos radiculares con un foramen apical independiente cada conducto. Conclusión: La presencia de un segundo conducto mesiovestibular como así la frecuencia de desembocadura en un foramen apical independiente presentan una alta frecuencia de aparición, por lo tanto, durante la terapia endodontica debe realizarse una exploración minuciosa del piso cameral, en buscade localizar y tratar este conducto, aumentando de esta manera las probabilidades de éxito del tratamiento a largo plazo...

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of periradicular lesions in HIV-infected Brazilian patients and to assess the correlation of several factors with the periradicular status. METHOD: One hundred full-mouth periapical radiographs were evaluated. A total of 2,214 teeth were evaluated for the presence of periradicular lesions, caries lesions, coronal restorations, pulp cavity exposure and endodontic treatment. RESULTS: The prevalence of periradicular lesions was 46%. There were no significant differences between individuals with or without periradicular lesions with respect to their socio-demographic status, habits, laboratory data and route of HIV infection. However, the presence of a periradicular lesion was statistically correlated with the number of teeth with endodontic treatment (p = 0.018), inadequate endodontic treatment (p = 0.025), images suggesting pulp cavity exposure (p = 0.002) and caries lesions (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of periradicular lesions in HIV-infected individuals was 46% and was not related to HIV infection. .
