Outcomes of nonsurgical endodontic treatment under general anesthesia in special health care needs: An observational study. BDJ Open 2024; 10:36. [PMID: 38773084 PMCID: PMC11109185 DOI: 10.1038/s41405-024-00224-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The alarming rise in the number of people with special health care needs (SHCNs) necessitates a paradigm shift in how to approach their oral health needs. General anesthesia (GA) is a valuable technique for facilitating dental procedures in patients with SHCNs who may not be able to tolerate treatment without it. The aim was to assess nonsurgical endodontic treatment and outcomes in patients with SHCNs performed under GA. METHOD Seventy-eight permanent teeth in 33 patients who received nonsurgical endodontic treatment under GA were included between 2018 and 2022 in SHCNs hospital clinics. The demographic data, types of SHCNs, pulpal and periapical diagnosis, type of treatment, and material used were analyzed. All patients were recalled for clinical and radiographic examinations. Pre-treatment and recall periapical radiographs were evaluated and scored using the Periapical Index (PAI). RESULTS Autism and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder were 39.4% of patients treated. Most treatments delivered were primary nonsurgical root canal treatment (95%). Warm vertical compaction of gutta-percha for obturation accounted for 88% of cases treated. Single cone obturation technique was used in 9 cases (12%) utilizing tricalcium silicate sealer. At the recall visits, 98.7% of teeth treated had survived. Twelve teeth have pre-treatment periapical lesions, and all healed except one. Female patients were found to have higher scores of PAI compared to male patients (23.7% vs 7.5%), yet insignificant. Only 10 patients with nonsurgical root canal treatment reported recurrent caries. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates a high survival rate for nonsurgical endodontic treatment performed under GA in a cohort of patients with SHCNs. Interestingly, patients with social and communication disorders received the highest proportion of treatments under GA. These findings highlight the potential of GA-facilitated endodontics for this population. However, further research is warranted to explore additional methods for optimizing oral health outcomes in SHCNs.

Clin Oral Investig 2024; 28:188. [PMID: 38430316 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-024-05569-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Root-end filling is important for the clinical outcome of endodontic microsurgery. Our previous study showed that combined application of iRoot BP Plus Root Repair Material (BP-RRM) and iRoot SP Injectable Root Canal Sealer (SP-RCS) in root-end filling exhibited better apical sealing as compared to the application of BP-RRM alone. The aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the effect of the combined use of BP-RRM and SP-RCS on the prognosis of teeth with refractory periapical diseases after endodontic microsurgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS 240 teeth with refractory periapical diseases scheduled for endodontic microsurgery were randomly divided into BP-RRM/SP-RCS group (n = 120) and BP-RRM group (n = 120). The patients were followed up at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after endodontic microsurgery. Pre- and post-operative clinical and radiographic examinations were performed to evaluate the treatment outcome. The 1-year success rate of endodontic microsurgery in BP-RRM/SP-RCS and BP-RRM groups was compared by Chi-square test. Factors that might impact the prognosis were further analyzed using Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. RESULTS A total of 221 teeth completed the 12-month follow-up. The 1-year success rates of the BP-RRM/SP-RCS and BP-RRM groups were 94.5% (104/110) and 92.8% (103/111), respectively. The combined use of BP-RRM and SP-RCS achieved a clinical outcome comparable to BP-RRM alone (P = 0.784). Tooth type (P = 0.002), through-and-through/apico-marginal lesion (P = 0.049), periodontal status (P < 0.0001), and Kim's lesion classification (P < 0.0001) were critical factors associated with the 1-year success of endodontic microsurgery. CONCLUSIONS The combined use of BP-RRM and SP-RCS is a practicable method for root-end filling in endodontic microsurgery with a satisfactory 1-year clinical outcome. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The combined application of BP-RRM and SP-RCS in EMS is an effective root-end filling method with a satisfactory 1-year clinical outcome. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2100052174).

The Outcomes of Endodontically Treated Teeth Restored with Custom-Made Cast Post-and-Core Restorations: A Retrospective Cohort Study. J Endod 2024; 50:316-328. [PMID: 38158119 DOI: 10.1016/j.joen.2023.12.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Custom-made cast post-and-core (CMCPC) restorations have long been used to restore structurally deficient endodontically treated teeth (ETT). However, the evidence regarding their impact on the outcomes of ETT is largely inconclusive. This study evaluated the long-term treatment outcome of ETT restored with CMCPC. METHODS This retrospective cohort study examined the dental records of patients that received CMCPC at a specialty private practice in Toronto, Canada between 1999 and 2021. The proportion of ETT with complete periapical healing and those that survived were estimated, and prognostic factors were investigated using multiple logistic and Cox regression analyses respectively (P < .05). RESULTS A total of 500 and 1000 teeth met periapical healing and survival criteria, respectively. The periapical healing rate was 88.8% and was associated with the presence of baseline periapical radiolucency [odds ratio = 0.1; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.05-0.2; P < .001]. The survival after a median follow-up time of 52.9 months (interquartile range: 26.5-99.4) was 90.1% and was associated with <75% of root length in bone [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.6; 95% CI, 1.0-6.6; P = .033], type and quality of final restoration (HR = 2.09; 95% CI, 1.1-3.9; P = .020; HR = 2.3; 95% CI, 1.2-4.5; P = .008, respectively), and the presence of periapical radiolucency at the latest recall (HR = 3.2; 95% CI, 1.7-6.3; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS The outcome of ETT restored with CMCPC was favorable. CMCPC may be regarded as a viable restorative option for structurally deficient ETT.

Cureus 2024; 16:e52020. [PMID: 38205085 PMCID: PMC10777889 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.52020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Endodontic therapy aims to treat or prevent apical periodontitis, a condition characterized by inflammation of the periapical tissues at the apex of the tooth root. This case study demonstrates the successful nonsurgical and surgical management of a large periapical lesion involving the lower central incisors with root displacement induced by a periapical granuloma. A patient was referred from the maxillofacial department for endodontic treatment due to persistent pain and swelling in the lower anterior region started two months ago. Upon arrival, a clinical examination and radiographic assessment were performed using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The CBCT scan revealed a significant radiolucent area measuring (10x8) mm extending from the lower left lateral incisor to the right central incisor. The lower left central incisor was necrotic and tender to palpation and percussion. A nonsurgical root canal was performed followed by an apicectomy using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) to facilitate healing of the periapical lesion. Histopathological examination of the lesion confirmed the diagnosis of periapical granuloma. At follow-up 1, 2, and 3 years' visits, the periodontal assessment was performed and found to be free of pain upon percussion or palpation. No other clinical or radiological signs or symptoms were identified except for a small radiolucent area mesially adjacent to the root of the lower left central incisor. The development of materials such as MTA has significantly improved the prognosis of cases with large periapical lesions. In this case, healing and spontaneous realignment of the root were observed after three years.
