This study examined the prevalence of endodontic treatment in a group of 184 Dutch adults, and determined the periapical status of all teeth using panoramic radiographs. The results indicate that in this group, 2.3% of the teeth were root-filled, and that 5.2% of all non-endodontically treated teeth showed signs of periapical pathology. Around the apices of 39.2% of the endodontically treated teeth in this survey, radiographic signs of periapical pathology were observed. Using the level of the root canal filling as a criterion for evaluating the quality of the root canal treatment, 50.6% of the endodontic treatments were qualified as inadequate. There was a significant correlation between the presence of periapical pathology and underfilling of the root canal(s). 44.6% of the patient sample had at least one tooth with radiographic signs of periapical pathology, indicating a substantial future need for endodontic treatment. |
