“…In the presence of pre-operative AR, the effect of other factors investigated here seems less important, consistent with other studies (29,33,34). There are several possible explanations for this consistency.…”

We evaluated the association between radiographically-assessed extension and density of root canal fillings and post-operative apical radiolucencies (AR) using data from 288 participants in the Veterans Affairs Dental Longitudinal Study. Study subjects were not VA patients; all received their medical and dental care in the private sector. Generalized Estimating Equations were used to account for multiple teeth within subjects and to control for covariates of interest. Defective root filling density was associated with increased odds of post-operative AR among teeth with no pre-operative AR (Odds Ratio=3.0, 95%CI=1.3-7.1), though pre-operative AR was the strongest risk factor for postoperative AR (Odds Ratio=29.2, 95%CI=13.6-63.0 among teeth with ideal density). Compared to well-extended root fillings, neither over-nor under-extended root fillings separately were related to post-operative AR, but when those two categories were collapsed into one "poorly-extended" category, poor extension was related to post-operative AR (Odds Ratio=1.8, 95%CI=1.1-3.2).

“…subjects who have irregular dental visiting habits and/or seldom visit the dental office often have fewer teeth and can be presumed to choose extraction of teeth rather than endodontic therapy when diagnosed with apical periodontitis. Aleksejuniene et al [14] found that regular visiting habits were associated with apical periodontitis, while Kirkevang & Wenzel [13] found that no usage of services of dental care was predictive of apical periodontitis. Several authors have pointed to smoking as a risk indicator for apical periodontitis.…”

“…Controlling for extent and severity of disease, Gilbert et al [22] reported a higher risk of tooth loss for individuals of low socio-economic status once entering the dental care system. Aleksejuniene et al [14] have demonstrated that high education is significantly associated with apical periodontitis.…”

“…Sin embargo, pocos estudios evidencian los indicadores de riesgo más frecuentes para la presencia de lesiones periapicales. Aleksejuniene et al establecieron en el 2000 que el estado periapical de un individuo estaba estrechamente relacionado con su salud oral en general [23]. Por otra parte, en el 2003, Kirkevang y Wenzel analizaron una población específica y concluyeron que el estatus socioeconómi-co del individuo no proporciona mucha información adicional del estado periapical [24].…”

Resumen. Introducción: las lesiones periapicales resultan un hallazgo importante en la práctica endodóncica por la información que aportan al diagnóstico y al plan de tratamiento. El objetivo de esta investigación fue describir los hallazgos radiográficos encontrados de lesiones periapicales en las historias clínicas de pacientes tratados endodónticamente. Métodos: estudio descriptivo en el que se midió tamaño, localización, ensanchamiento del ligamento periodontal, lámina dura y pérdida ósea de las lesiones apicales y los dientes tratados. Se incluyeron 576 radiografías obtenidas entre [2003][2004][2005][2006][2007], teniendo en cuenta criterios de selección definidos. Se diseñó un formato y las radiografías fueron estandarizadas a través de un lector digital calibrado. Se realizó análisis estadístico en el programa STATA. Resultados: el promedio de edad fue 32,1 ± 14,6 años; las radiografías pertenecían a pacientes femeninas en 59,4% y masculinos en 40,6%; el 38% presentó lesiones grandes (> 7 mm); la pérdida ósea fue detectable en un 18,2%. Finalmente, la lámina dura tuvo mayor continuidad en el rango de 8 a 10 milímetros con 37,5%. Conclusiones: los resultados sugieren que las características de las lesiones periapicales fueron consistentes con otros hallazgos descritos en la literatura. Es necesario, además de las radiografías, tener en cuenta otros hallazgos para un correcto diagnóstico y tratamiento.Palabras clave: endodoncia, periodontitis apical, epidemiología, radiografía dental. Radiographic analysis of periapical lesions in patients undergoing root canal treatmentAbstract. Introduction: periapical lesions are an important finding in endodontic practice because of the information they provide for the diagnosis and treatment plan. The aim of this research was to describe the radiographic findings of periapical lesions in the clinical histories of patients treated endodontically. Methods: this descriptive study measured size, location, enlargement of the periodontal ligament, lamina dura, and bone loss of apical lesions and treated teeth. The study included 576 xrays obtained between 2003 and 2007, taking defined selection criteria into account. A format was designed and the x-rays were standardized using a calibrated digital reader. Statistical analysis was performed using the STATA program. Results: the average age was 32.1 ± 14.6 years. The x-rays related to female patients in 59.4% of cases and males in 40.6% of cases; 38% presented large lesions (> 7 mm). Bone loss was detectable in 18.2% of cases. Finally, the lamina dura had greatest continuity in the range of 8 to 10 mm with 37.5%. Conclusions: the results suggest that the characteristics of the periapical lesions were consistent with other findings described in the literature. As well as the x-rays, other findings must be taken into account for correct diagnosis and treatment.Keywords: endodontics, apical periodontitis, epidemiology, dental radiography.
