| Popis: | Incomplete endodontic treatment is potentially a public health issue. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the endodontic treatment completion rate at a University student clinic and to identify the factors associated with completion rates. The records of all patients who commenced an endodontic treatment (code 415) from January 2015 to December 2015 were extracted. A total of 783 records were available for analysis of which 86% received complete endodontic treatment. Maxillary first molars were significantly associated with incomplete endodontic treatment (IET). Patients requiring an additional visit (code 455) were 1.5 times more likely to have an IET. The endodontic treatment completion rate at the School of Dentistry at the University of Queensland is higher than those reported in other international university-based student clinics. Focus group surveys of students and supervisors are required to identify the reasons for higher IET with maxillary first molars and code 455. |
