Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to assess the proportions of complicated endodontic cases treated by undergraduate dental students in a University clinic now and in the past.

Material and methods: Data were obtained from the electronic records and previous publications from the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Oslo, Norway. The operators were dental undergraduate students in their final 2 years of training. Proportions of tooth types, diagnosis, and retreatments were studied.

Results: The amount of endodontically treated molars increased from 18% in 1971% to 44% in 2019. The number of teeth with preoperative apical periodontitis increased from 31% to 46%, and retreatments from 9% to 15%. The changes were highly significant, with the greatest change occurring from 1984 to 2009.

Conclusion: Undergraduate students are exposed to more complicated teeth now than 50 years ago.

1971 - 2019年高校门诊本科生牙髓治疗困难的变化

目的：比较某高校牙科本科学生在门诊治疗复杂牙髓病的比例。材料和方法：数据来自挪威奥斯陆大学牙科学院的电子记录和以前的出版物。操作人员是牙科专业的本科生，正在进行最后两年的培训。研究了牙齿类型、诊断和再治疗的比例。结果：牙髓治疗磨牙的比例从1971%的18%上升到2019年的44%。术前患根尖牙周炎的牙齿数量从31%增加到46%，再治疗从9%增加到15%。变化非常显著，1984 - 2009年变化最大。结论：与50年前相比，现在的大学生接触到的牙齿更加复杂。

期刊介绍： Clinical and Experimental Dental Research aims to provide open access peer-reviewed publications of high scientific quality representing original clinical, diagnostic or experimental work within all disciplines and fields of oral medicine and dentistry. The scope of Clinical and Experimental Dental Research comprises original research material on the anatomy, physiology and pathology of oro-facial, oro-pharyngeal and maxillofacial tissues, and functions and dysfunctions within the stomatognathic system, and the epidemiology, aetiology, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis and therapy of diseases and conditions that have an effect on the homeostasis of the mouth, jaws, and closely associated structures, as well as the healing and regeneration and the clinical aspects of replacement of hard and soft tissues with biomaterials, and the rehabilitation of stomatognathic functions. Studies that bring new knowledge on how to advance health on the individual or public health levels, including interactions between oral and general health and ill-health are welcome.
