Introduction: The endodontic treatment in non-vital teeth is directed to the elimination of the infection through the biofilm removal biomechanics and remnants of necrotic tissue, in order to eliminate infection and generate periapical tissue repair.
Objective: To determine the success or failure of endodontic treatment in non-vital teeth performed by dental students under supervision.
Materials and methods: In this article 3 clinical cases of patients undergoing endodontic procedures with non-vital pulps track 4 and 6 years are presented.
Results: Two of the 3 cases show a process of incomplete periapical tissue regeneration at the time of observation. The third case shows a process of subsequent periodontal disease to endodontics leading to tooth loss.
Conclusions: Is necessary to conduct a study with a sample size calculated to determine what percentage of success and failure of endodontic treatment in non-vital teeth, performed by undergraduate dental students under supervision, and to determine those factors that directly influence both outcomes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
