Abstract

This study evaluated the technical quality (TQ) of root canal therapy (RCT) performed by predoctoral students and its impact on endodontic outcome (EO) and patients' quality of life (QoL). The TQ of RCT done by predoctoral students was evaluated and follow-up visits were conducted to determine the clinical, radiographic outcome of RCT and patients' QoL. Frequency distribution, multiple regression, independent-samples t test and one-way anova were performed. A total of 226 teeth of 164 patients were clinically and radiographically examined. A satisfactory TQ was observed in 130 (57.5%), successful clinical outcomes in 155 (68.6%), successful radiographical outcomes in 206 (91%) and overall successful EO in 150 teeth (66.4%) with 80% of patients reporting a favourable QoL. A significant positive correlation was noted between EO and QoL (p = 0.002) with no significant correlation in between TQ-RCT and EO (p = 0.07) and TQ-RCT and QoL (p = 0.316). Successful EO had a positive impact on patients' QoL.

评估博士前期学生进行根管治疗的质量对根管治疗效果和患者生活质量的影响。

本研究评估了由博士前期学生进行的根管治疗（RCT）的技术质量（TQ）及其对根管治疗结果（EO）和患者生活质量（QoL）的影响。对博士前期学生所做根管治疗的TQ进行了评估，并进行了随访，以确定根管治疗的临床和放射学结果以及患者的QoL。研究采用了频数分布、多元回归、独立样本 t 检验和单因素 anova 等方法。共对 164 名患者的 226 颗牙齿进行了临床和放射学检查。130颗牙齿（57.5%）的TQ令人满意，155颗牙齿（68.6%）的临床结果令人满意，206颗牙齿（91%）的放射学结果令人满意，150颗牙齿（66.4%）的EO总体结果令人满意，80%的患者表示生活质量良好。EO与QoL之间存在明显的正相关性（p = 0.002），而TQ-RCT与EO（p = 0.07）和TQ-RCT与QoL（p = 0.316）之间没有明显的相关性。成功的 EO 对患者的 QoL 有积极影响。

期刊介绍： The Australian Endodontic Journal provides a forum for communication in the different fields that encompass endodontics for all specialists and dentists with an interest in the morphology, physiology, and pathology of the human tooth, in particular the dental pulp, root and peri-radicular tissues. The Journal features regular clinical updates, research reports and case reports from authors worldwide, and also publishes meeting abstracts, society news and historical endodontic glimpses. The Australian Endodontic Journal is a publication for dentists in general and specialist practice devoted solely to endodontics. It aims to promote communication in the different fields that encompass endodontics for those dentists who have a special interest in endodontics.
