Factors Associated to Survival of Endodontically-treated Teeth in Patients Younger than 20 Years of Age Treated at a Private ips in the Period : 2006-2012
Introduction: Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that studies the morphology, function and alterations of the dental pulp and periapical region. It also deals with the treatment of pulp and periapical pathologies. Although the success of endodontic procedures is high, the survival of endodontically treated teeth has been studied scarcely. The objective of this study was to determine the survival rate and the demographic and clinical factors that affect the loss of endodontically treated teeth.
Methods: We conducted a cohort study with a survival analysis on endodontically treated teeth. Data was acquired from dental records. Results: In general, the studied population was characterized by a low income and educational status and was composed predominantly by males. Males lost more teeth at a faster rate than females and this phenomenon was affected by the low income mainly and by periapical lesions greater than 11 mm.
Discussion: For a specific population under 20 years of age the clinical results are similar to those of previous published research dealing with older patients.
Conclusions: A rapid loss of teeth with endodontic treatment was significantly explained by the Presence of lesions exceeding 11 mm in diameter.
