This review describes the recent findings from epidemiological studies on endodontic infections. The recent literature was screened for studies on the prevalence of primary apical periodontitis and posttreatment apical periodontitis in various populations.
Twenty-nine articles reporting data on the prevalence of primary or posttreatment apical periodontitis from all over the world were included. The prevalence of apical periodontitis varied between 7 and 86%, while that of posttreatment apical periodontitis varied between 10 and 62%. The quality of the coronal restoration and the root filling appears to be the major predictors of apical periodontitis.
The recent findings from epidemiological studies on the prevalence of primary and posttreatment apical periodontitis in various populations are not substantially different from those from earlier years. It appears that the health of periapical tissues has not majorly improved in the general population.
本综述描述了牙髓感染流行病学研究的最新发现。检索了近期文献,以查找关于不同人群中原发性根尖周炎和治疗后根尖周炎患病率的研究。
纳入了29篇报道世界各地原发性或治疗后根尖周炎患病率数据的文章。根尖周炎的患病率在7%至86%之间,而治疗后根尖周炎的患病率在10%至62%之间。冠部修复体的质量和根管充填似乎是根尖周炎的主要预测因素。
不同人群中原发性和治疗后根尖周炎患病率的流行病学研究最新发现与早年的发现没有实质性差异。一般人群中根尖周组织的健康状况似乎没有显著改善。
