Dental surgeons must be aware of the most appropriate endodontic treatments and how to properly conduct them. The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of dental surgeons in Burkina Faso in terms of endodontic treatment procedures.
This descriptive, cross-sectional study was performed during the regular annual conference of the National Board of Dental Surgeons of Burkina Faso, held on February 27 and 28, 2015 in Ouagadougou, through a questionnaire.
A total of 33 practitioners took part (52.4% of the dental surgeons of Burkina Faso) in the study. The majority of them (90.9%) used sodium hypochlorite as their preferred irrigation solution. Nearly half of the dental surgeons (48.5%) did not know how to use a permeabilization file, and most did not make use of nickel-titanium (NiTi) mechanized instruments (78.8%) or rubber dams (93.9%). Approximately two-thirds of participants did not perform file-in-place radiography (66.7%) or control radiography of the canal obturation (63.6%). The adjusted single-cone technique was the most commonly used (87.9%).
This study highlights that the majority of dental surgeons in Burkina Faso are not using the currently recommended endodontic procedures to perform obturations.
Dental surgeons in Burkina Faso must commit to regularly upgrading their knowledge and techniques. Key words: Burkina faso, Cross-sectional study, Dental surgeons, Endodontic treatments, Protocol adherence.
口腔外科医生必须了解最合适的牙髓治疗方法以及如何正确实施这些方法。本研究的目的是评估布基纳法索口腔外科医生在牙髓治疗程序方面的知识水平。
这项描述性横断面研究是在2015年2月27日和28日于瓦加杜古举行的布基纳法索国家口腔外科医生委员会年度会议期间，通过问卷调查进行的。
共有33名从业者（占布基纳法索口腔外科医生的52.4%）参与了该研究。他们中的大多数（90.9%）将次氯酸钠作为首选冲洗液。近一半的口腔外科医生（48.5%）不知道如何使用疏通锉，并且大多数人未使用镍钛（NiTi）机动器械（78.8%）或橡皮障（93.9%）。约三分之二的参与者未进行就位锉X线片检查（66.7%）或根管充填控制X线片检查（63.6%）。调整后的单尖技术是最常用的（87.9%）。
本研究强调，布基纳法索的大多数口腔外科医生在进行充填时未采用目前推荐的牙髓治疗程序。
布基纳法索的口腔外科医生必须致力于定期更新他们的知识和技术。关键词：布基纳法索；横断面研究；口腔外科医生；牙髓治疗；方案依从性
