| Popis: | The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of root canal filling performed by undergraduate students at the Federal University of Espirito Santo (UFES). A total of 368 periapical radiographs of endodontic treatment performed by undergraduate students between 2012 and 2014 was assessment. The quality of root canal filling was based on two criteria: length of root canal filling and adequate density of the obturation. Root canal fillings were considered adequate if had no voids and were located at 0-2 mm below the radiographic apex. Statistical analysis was conducted using chi-square tests, with a 5% significance level. In 93.8% of the cases the root canal filling was considered adequate. The density of the obturation was considered inadequate in 3% of the cases. When the length of root canal filling was observed, 1.2% of cases were considered as over-filled and 2.2% were considered under-filled. Non-significant differences were observed among the tooth type (incisive, canines and pre-molars) and the quality of root canal filling. Most of root canal filling performed by undergraduate students at the UFES were considered adequate, regardless of tooth type. |
