Objective. The aim of this study was to analyze the preva- lence of AP in relation to the quality of endodontic treat- ment in an Italian adult population. Methods. We examined panoramic radiographs (OPG) of 384 patients aged between 18 and 60 years who came un- der observation for a first dental examination. Two expe- rienced examiners assessed the radiographs according to standardized criteria by examining the following parame- ters: periapical status, quality of endodontic treatment, qual- ity of root canal filling and quality of coronal restoration. Results. 9423 teeth were analyzed. By examining the ra- diographs 1076 teeth had undergone previous endodon- tic treatment, of these 448 (41.6%) had AP. Statistical analy- sis shows a significant association between periapical sta- tus and quality of endodontic treatment (p <0.001), between periapical status and quality of root canal filling (p <0.001) and between periapical status and quality of coronal restora- tion (p <0.001). Conclusions. The prevalence of AP was found to be close- ly related to the quality of endodontic treatment, quality of root canal filling and coronal restoration.
Obiettivo: Analizzare la prevalenza di PA in relazione alla qualità del trattamento endodontico in una popolazione adul- ta italiana. Metodi. Sono state esaminate 384 ortopantomografie (OPT) di pazienti di età compresa tra i 18 ed i 60 anni giun- ti in osservazione per una prima visita odontoiatrica. Due esaminatori esperti hanno valutato le radiografie seguen- do un criterio di valutazione standardizzato esaminando i seguenti parametri: stato periapicale, qualità del trattamento endodontico, qualità del riempimento canalare, qualità del restauro coronale. Risultati. Sono stati analizzati 9423 elementi dentari, dei quali 1076 mostravano all’analisi radiografica un pregres- so trattamento endodontico, di questi 448 (41.6%) pre- sentavano PA. Dall’analisi statistica si evidenzia un’asso- ciazione significativa tra lo stato periapicale e la qualità del trattamento endodontico (p<0.001), tra lo stato periapica- le e la qualità del riempimento canalare (p<0.001) e tra lo stato periapicale e la qualità del restauro coronale (p<0.001). Conclusioni. La prevalenza di PA è risultata essere stret- tamente correlata alla qualità del trattamento endodonti- co, alla qualità del riempimento canalare e del restauro co- ronale.
