[Clinico statistical study of the dental education and dental care in the clinic of endodontics. 1. Endodontic therapy of pulpless teeth].

Abstract

In this clinico statistical study we tried to evaluate the program of education and the dental care provided by the clinic of Endodontics of the Athens University Dental School. The material for this study was the data from 2726 pulpless teeth. The endodontic treatment was done by the students of the 5th year at the Department of Endodontics during the year 1983-1987. The statistical analysis of the material of all the cases was based on: the possibility of perfect obluration of the root canal and the existence of periapical lesions in relation to the teeth group, the jaw and the age of the patient. The evaluation of the results proved that the education and treatment were satisfactory in quantity and quality. It was also found that the success of the obturation depended on the teeth group and had nothing to do with age. It was also found that the biggest percentage of periapical lesions concerned the anterior teeth.
