The aim of this study was to determine the frequencies of apical periodontitis and endodontic treatment in a Turkish population using a retrospective analysis of orthopantomograms.
The sample consisted of orthopantomographs of 250 subjects who had been referred to our clinic for an initial visit between the years of 2013 and 2014. The periapical status of all teeth (with the exception of third molars) was examined using periapical index scoring system (PAI). Data were analyzed statistically using the Chi-squared test at the significance level of p<0.05.
The study sample comprised 6196 teeth belonging to 250 patients. Out of 6196 examined teeth, the frequencies of apical periodontitis and endodontic treatment was 1.8% and 3.7%, respectively. Gender had no effect on the presence of apical periodontitis or the frequency of endodontic treatment. The frequency of apical periodontitis and endodontic treatment increased with age, but it did not show statistical significance among different age groups.
This study provides epidemiological data about apical periodontitis and endodontic treatment in a Turkish population.
本研究旨在通过对曲面断层片进行回顾性分析，确定土耳其人群中根尖周炎和根管治疗的发生率。
样本包括2013年至2014年间首次到我们诊所就诊的250名受试者的曲面断层片。使用根尖指数评分系统（PAI）检查所有牙齿（第三磨牙除外）的根尖周状况。采用卡方检验对数据进行统计学分析，显著性水平为p<0.05。
研究样本包括250名患者的6196颗牙齿。在6196颗被检查的牙齿中，根尖周炎和根管治疗的发生率分别为1.8%和3.7%。性别对根尖周炎的发生或根管治疗的发生率没有影响。根尖周炎和根管治疗的发生率随年龄增长而增加，但在不同年龄组之间没有统计学意义。
本研究提供了土耳其人群中根尖周炎和根管治疗的流行病学数据。
