ABSTRACT

Objective:

This study compared the aerosol-generating and non-aerosol-generating endodontic emergency procedures' success and assessed the outcome of endodontic treatments initiated before a pandemic but could not be completed in the targeted time. Material(s) and Method(s) Emergency treatments were performed according to symptoms of teeth. Treatment success or failure was determined according to patients whether not re-referral with untimely pain. Short-term outcome and complications arising from teeth, which endodontic treatments were prolonged were also recorded. A chi-square test was used in the statistical analysis, and p<0.05 was considered significant. Result(s) The aerosol-generating procedure group's success rate was 86.2%, while it was 70.0% in the non-aerosol generating procedure group (p=0.050). The short-term survival rate of teeth was 83.7% in patients whose endodontic treatment had been prolonged. Conclusion(s) Considering the pros and cons, each emergency patient should be evaluated case-by-case. Copyright ©Meandros Medical and Dental Journal, Published by Galenos Publishing House.
