This study evaluated the technical quality (TQ) of root canal therapy (RCT) performed by predoctoral students and its impact on endodontic outcome (EO) and patients' quality of life (QoL). The TQ of RCT done by predoctoral students was evaluated and follow-up visits were conducted to determine the clinical, radiographic outcome of RCT and patients' QoL. Frequency distribution, multiple regression, independent-samples t test and one-way anova were performed. A total of 226 teeth of 164 patients were clinically and radiographically examined. A satisfactory TQ was observed in 130 (57.5%), successful clinical outcomes in 155 (68.6%), successful radiographical outcomes in 206 (91%) and overall successful EO in 150 teeth (66.4%) with 80% of patients reporting a favourable QoL. A significant positive correlation was noted between EO and QoL (p = 0.002) with no significant correlation in between TQ-RCT and EO (p = 0.07) and TQ-RCT and QoL (p = 0.316). Successful EO had a positive impact on patients' QoL.
本研究评估了博士生进行根管治疗(RCT)的技术质量(TQ)及其对牙髓治疗结果(EO)和患者生活质量(QoL)的影响。评估了博士生进行RCT的TQ,并进行随访以确定RCT的临床、影像学结果及患者的QoL。进行了频率分布、多元回归、独立样本t检验和单因素方差分析。对164例患者的226颗牙齿进行了临床和影像学检查。观察到130颗牙齿(57.5%)的TQ令人满意,155颗牙齿(68.6%)临床结果成功,206颗牙齿(91%)影像学结果成功,150颗牙齿(66.4%)的EO总体成功,80%的患者报告生活质量良好。EO与QoL之间存在显著正相关(p = 0.002),而TQ-RCT与EO之间(p = 0.07)以及TQ-RCT与QoL之间(p = 0.316)无显著相关性。成功的EO对患者的QoL有积极影响。
