Recent evidence suggests that an ever-growing number of pediatric patients require invasive treatments such as root canal therapy (RCT) in their permanent dentition, albeit with little information about risk factors such as prior invasive treatments of pulpotomy or pulpectomy in their primary dentition. Therefore, the primary objectives of this study were to determine the number of pediatric patients who have had any type of invasive treatment in their primary teeth, to assess their association with any subsequent invasive treatment (root canal therapy, extractions) in their permanent dentition, and to assess these trends over time. This retrospective study utilized summary data from a clinical pediatric patient pool (ages 0-17) over the period of 2013-2022. This analysis revealed that pediatric patients requiring pulpotomies and pulpectomies in primary dentition declined between 2013 ( = 417, = 156) and 2022 ( = 250, = 12), while root canal therapy (RCT) in permanent dentition increased six-fold from = 54 to = 330. In addition, few (7.8%) patients with RCT had a previous history of pulpotomy or pulpectomy, which suggests that invasive treatments performed in primary dentition have no direct association with the subsequent need for invasive treatments in permanent dentition, although more research is needed to determine the explanations for these observations.
最近的证据表明,越来越多的儿童患者在恒牙列中需要进行根管治疗(RCT)等侵入性治疗,尽管对于诸如乳牙列中先前进行的活髓切断术或牙髓摘除术等危险因素的信息很少。因此,本研究的主要目的是确定在乳牙列中接受过任何类型侵入性治疗的儿童患者数量,评估其与恒牙列中任何后续侵入性治疗(根管治疗、拔牙)的关联,并评估这些趋势随时间的变化。这项回顾性研究利用了2013年至2022年期间临床儿科患者库(0至17岁)的汇总数据。该分析显示,需要在乳牙列中进行活髓切断术和牙髓摘除术的儿童患者在2013年(n = 417,p = 156)至2022年(n = 250,p = 12)期间有所下降,而恒牙列中的根管治疗(RCT)从n = 54增加到n = 330,增长了六倍。此外,很少有(7.8%)接受根管治疗的患者有活髓切断术或牙髓摘除术的既往史这表明乳牙列中进行的侵入性治疗与恒牙列中后续侵入性治疗的需求没有直接关联尽管需要更多研究来确定这些观察结果的解释。
