Abstract

Aim: This study was undertaken to examine and compare the technical quality of root fillings treated by fourth and fifth year dental students. Material and Methods: A toted of 512 root filled teeth were examined on periapical radiographs taken by paralleling technique. 254 of teeth were treated by fourth year dental students and 258 of teeth were treated by fifth year dental students. In root filled teeth the following parameters were assessed: the quality of the lateral seal of the root filling, the length of the root filling and the periapical status of the root filling (PAI index). Results: The majority of endodontically treated teeth were maxillary anteriors. The overall statistical analysis showed no significant difference between fourth and fifth year dental students regarding the quality of root canal fillings. In fifth year group the quality of root canal fillings were better only in molar teeth. There was a positive correlation between apical pathology and overfilling of root canals. Conclusion: This study indicates that there was no statistically difference between fourth and fifth year dental students regarding the quality of root canal fillings except molar teeth. The patients should be selected carefully in order to increase the quality of treatments performed by dental students.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı 4.sınıf ve S.sınıf dişhekimliği öğrencilerinin yaptığı kanal tedavilerinin kalitesinin radyografik olarak incelenmesi ve birbirleriyle karşılaştırılmasıdır. Materyal ve yöntem: Toplam 512 kanal dolgusunun kalitesi, paralel teknikle alınmış radyografiler üzerinde değerlendirildi. bu dişlerden 254 adedi 4.sınıflar tarafından, 258 adedi ise 5.sınıflar tarafından tedavi edildi. Kanal dolgusu yapılmış dişlerde şu parametreler değerlendirildi: kanal dolgusunun yoğunluğu yani sızdırmazlığı, kanal dolgusunun uzunluğu ve kök kanal dolgulu dişlerin periapikal durumları (PAI indeks). Bulgular: Endodontik tedavi yapılan dişlerin çoğunluğu maksiller anterior dişlerdi. Tüm dişler değerlendirildiğinde, 4. sınıfların ve 5. sınıfların yaptığı kanal tedavilerinin kalitesinin istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark göstermediği bulundu. Sadece molar dişler dikkate alındığında 5.sınıfların yaptığı kök kanal tedavilerinin kalitesinin daha iyi olduğu saptandı. Ayrıca periapikal patoloji ile taşkın kök kanal dolgusu arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğu saptandı. Sonuç: Bu çalışma molar dişler hariç 4.sınıf ve 5. sınıfların yaptıkları kanal dolgularının kalitesi arasında herhangi bir fark bulunmadığını göstermiştir. Öğrencilere verilecek hastaların seçimi re takibi kök kanal tedavisi kalitesinin arttırılması için dikkatle yapılmalıdır.
