Patient-based research provides insight into real-world endodontics. Cross-sectional studies describe the health status of populations. Root canal-associated pain is a source of fear for patients, a concern of dentists, and is remembered and shared. Inclusion/exclusion criteria and defined searches selected articles in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, and PsycINFO databases. Prevalence of periapical radiolucency and root canal treatment were calculated. L'Abbe plots evaluated the influence of root canal treatment on pain prevalence and severity. 5% of teeth had periapical radiolucencies, 9% endodontically treated, 37% of treated teeth had periapical radiolucencies, and 2% of untreated teeth had periapical radiolucencies. Pre-treatment, 24 hour, and 1 week pain prevalences were 81(28)%, 40(24)%, and 11(14)%. Pre-treatment, 24 hour, and 1 week pain severities, were 54(24)%, 24(12)%, and 5(5)%. L'Abbe plots revealed a decrease in pain prevalence and severity. Prevalence of periapical radiolucency and root canal treatment was very high. Pain prevalence and severities decreased after treatment.

Abstract: This doctorial thesis begins with a systematic review on clinical studies on single-visit and multiple-visit non-surgical endodontic treatment. The review found that neither single-visit treatment nor multiple-visit treatment could guarantee the absence of postoperative pain. Since the study design of many studies displays significant limitation, and the materials and equipment used in endodontic treatment have dramatically changed in recent years, prospective randomised clinical trials are needed to further verify the postoperative pain and success rate of single-visit versus multiple-visit endodontic treatment. This study also performed a systematic review on clinical studies on core-carrier obturation. A meta-analysis concluded that the success rate of endodontic treatment using core-carrier obturation is high (79%), and the incidence of postoperative pain is low (11%). Most teeth (87%) had adequate adaptation using core-carrier obturation material but one third of them had overfilling. A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the preference for single-visit and multiple-visit endodontic treatment among the 16 registered endodontists and 800 randomly selected general dentists in Hong Kong. Eight endodontists and 429 general dentists returned their questionnaires and the results found most endodontists (88%) and general dentists (93%) preferred offering multiple-visit treatments. The two commonest reasons for choosing multiple-visit treatment for both endodontists and general dentists were the positive effects of inter-appointment medications and that the tooth to be treated had doubtful prognosis. Three randomised clinical trials were performed in this study at two clinics, one in The University of Hong Kong (HKU) in Hong Kong and the other in Peking University (PKU) in Beijing. The first clinical trial compared the time in performing non-surgical endodontic therapy with or without the use of a magnifying loupe. Ninety-six teeth were treated with a magnifying loupe and 86 teeth were treated without a magnifying loupe. The results found the use of a magnifying loupe could significantly reduce the endodontic treatment time. The results also showed that treatment time was associated with preoperative pain, number of root canal, number of treatment visit, experience of operator and site of treatment (HKU or PKU); but not associated with age, gender, tooth vitality, or the presence of apical radiolucency or sinus tract. The second clinical trial compared the incidence of post-obturation pain at one and seven days after single-visit and multiple-visit non-surgical endodontic treatment. A total of 538 teeth from patients attending were evaluated. The result found single-visit or multiple-visit endodontic treatment had no difference in their incidence of postoperative pain, which was not uncommon after one day (29%) but was infrequent (5%) after seven days. The third clinical trial was performed at HKU clinic to compare the success rate, prevalence of postoperative pain and chairside time of single-visit and multiple-visit endodontic treatment. A total of 220 teeth were followed up for at least 18 months. The average follow-up period was 29 months. The results found that the success rate and prevalence of postoperative pain of single-visit or multiple-visit treatment had no significant difference. The chairside time for single-visit treatment was shorter than multiple-visit treatment.

Background: in 1970's the seminal work of Cohen and Jago initiated an interest in the measurement of health related quality of life measures in dentistry. Clinical measures to assess oral health from the dentist's perspective do not necessarily measure well-being. The patient reported outcome measures are an important tool to measure and improve the quality of care. -- Aim: The aim of the project was to create and validate a brief instrument for measuring patient-based oral health outcomes associated with endodontic care. -- Method: Based on the literature review of the currently used core oral health outcome measures, items from established instruments were selected to generate pool of items for the new measure. All subjects attending primary dental care at a local dental teaching hospital specifically for endodontic treatment provided by undergraduates self-completed this outcome measure prior to, immediately following care and at one month follow-up visit. Using multicollinearity, factor analysis, regression modelling and an expert based approach items were identified for a brief instrument. The newly developed brief instrument was tested for its reliability, validity and responsiveness on patients attending for endodontic treatment in the same clinical setting using the self-completed questionnaire at the baseline and after completion of the treatment. -- Results: 46 Items from OHIP-49 (Oral Health Impact Profile) and 12 items from GOHAI (General Oral Health Assessment Index) were used as the basis for development of an endodontic outcome measure. Multicollinearity, factor analysis and regression analysis of the long-form of the instrument (58 items) identified 15 significant items associated with improved oral health.

This book is designed to meet the needs of both dental students and dentists by providing succinct and quickly retrievable answers to common dental questions. Students will find both that it clearly presents the particulars which should be familiar to every dentist and that it enables them to see the big picture and contextualize information introduced to them in the future. Practicing dentists, on the other hand, will employ the book as a daily reference to source information on important topics, materials, techniques, and conditions. The book is neither discipline nor specialty specific. The first part is wide ranging and covers the essentials of dental practice while the second part addresses individual specialties and the third is devoted to emergency dental treatment. Whether as a handy resource in the student s backpack or as a readily available tool on the office desk, this reference manual fills an important gap in the dental literature.

This book describes the most commonly encountered endodontic complications and provides up-to-date information on their prevention and management. The opening chapters explain the importance of accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, outline the role of digital radiography and CBCT in managing complications, and highlight the need for close attention to anatomic landmarks in order to avoid damage to neurovascular anatomy. Endodontic problems associated with different procedural errors are then discussed in detail, covering a wide variety of access- and instrumentation-related complications and the difficulties that may arise when using obturation techniques. Readers will also find information on the endodontic–periodontal relationship, special issues in geriatric patients, and the potential medical emergencies and precautions in specific patient subsets. The clear, easy-to-read text is complemented by numerous high-quality photographs and tables that assist understanding and ready identification of management solutions. This book will be of value for all dental practitioners with an interest in endodontics, endodontic specialists, and higher-level students.
