“…8,11,21 The present results indicated that the central and lateral maxillary incisors were the most frequently affected teeth, followed by the premolars and the mandibular first molars. This difference could be explained by the socioeconomic status of our sample population; this population probably chose tooth extraction rather than root canal treatment followed by costly prosthetic treatment.…”

“…2,3,4 Results from cross-sectional studies have often associated AP with inadequate root-fillings, 5 and the quality of the root filling has been extensively documented as the most important determinant of endodontic success. 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14 Certain authors have indicated that age, gender, social class, education, occupation and use of dental services are among the risk indicators that may be associated with the presence of apical periodontitis. 10 Other descriptive epidemiological studies have suggested that the presence of an apical lesion is dependent on tooth type.…”

The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of apical periodontitis (AP) in an urban Brazilian population according to gender, age group and tooth type. Data were collected from clinical files containing the medical and dental histories and periapical radiographs of 1,126 patients treated at the School of Dentistry at Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro between March 2000 and December 2010. A total of 15,724 periapical radiographs were evaluated. All the radiographs were evaluated by two independent, previously calibrated endodontists (kappa = 0.88). Periapical areas on the radiographs were classified as N (normal) or AR (apical radiolucency). The frequency of AP and the 95% Confidence Interval (95%CI) were calculated according to gender, age group and tooth type. Differences between groups were calculated using the Z-test at a significance level of 5% (p < 0.05). AP was present in 7.87% of the samples, with 16.70% occurring on previously endodontically treated teeth and 44.65% occurring on teeth referred for endodontic treatment (TR-RCT). The frequency of AP was higher among females (64%) than among males (35%). The central and lateral maxillary incisors were the most frequently affected teeth. The frequency of AP was higher among individuals between 30 and 49 years of age. In this population, AP was more prevalent among females and among individuals between 30 and 49 years of age, and the central and lateral maxillary incisors were the most frequently affected teeth.

“…In the evaluation of the quality of RF, various criteria were used in the selected studies: three studies used the distance of the endodontic filling from the root apex, 16,21,23 three studies used the filling density and its distance from the apex, 17,18,25 three studies defined the parameter as being the presence of filling material in the root canal 1,9,19 four studies preferred criteria proposed by other authors 20,22,26,27 and in one article the authors created their own guidelines 24 ( Table 1). …”

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between root fillings and the presence of apical periodontitis in studies with samples containing elderly patients. The data were obtained by means of a systematic review of studies that evaluated the quality of root fillings and their relationship with periapical health. 1,376 potentially relevant articles were selected, of which 667 were repeated and 16 were duplicates. 693 abstracts were analyzed, with 608 of these being excluded and 85 selected for reading in full. Fourteen (14) articles were included, totaling data of 135,566 teeth. Of these, 13,704 (10.1%) had endodontic fillings, with 6,455 (47.1%) being considered adequate and 7,249 (52.9%) inadequate. Among the teeth with apical periodontitis, 2,084 (32.3%) had adequate endodontic fillings and 3,749 (51.6%) had inadequate fillings. There was a significant correlation between the quality of endodontic fillings considered adequate and lower frequency of apical periodontitis in elderly patients.

Background: The aim of this study was to radiographically evaluate the effects of chronic stress on induced endodontic disease in rats. Methods: Twenty-four Wistar rats were divided into two groups: stress associated with coronal access (SAG) and coronal access (AG). Initially, the SAG and AG groups underwent coronal opening on their first right upper molars. Beginning the next day, the SAG group was subjected to physical restraint for 12 daytime hours daily for 29 days, which induced stress. After this period, the animals were euthanised, and their jaws were radiographed according to a standardised method. The radiographs were digitised, and the area of the periapical lesions was measured. Results:The results indicate that the SAG group experienced a greater destruction of the apical periodontium, which was significantly different from that observed in the AG group (p<0.05).

Periapical status, prevalence and quality of endodontic treatment in an adult French population

Abstract: The results of the present study indicate that many root-canal treatments were technically unsatisfactory in terms of quality and treatment outcome. There is a need for endodontic retreatment in the population examined.
