Abstract
This cross-sectional study evaluated technical failures in root canal treatments (RCTs) of curved molars (> 10°) performed by undergraduate students and their association with instrumentation techniques. Evaluations included filling extension, density, taper and ledge/zip formation. Bivariate analysis (chi-square, 5% significance) calculated odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Among 188 RCTs, manual instrumentation had higher risks of ledge/zip formation, inadequate density, taper and underfilling, while reciprocating techniques showed more overfilling. Root curvature did not influence failure rates. The study showed 100% power for detecting underfilling, inadequate density and taper; 97.98% for overfilling and 71.11% for ledge/zip formation. Instrumentation technique significantly impacted failure frequency, with manual techniques associated with more complications.
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.
