Abstract

Introduction: Vital pulp therapy (VPT), revascularization, and apexification are different endodontic treatment modalities that aim to preserve tooth structure and decrease bacterial leakage increasing the long-term success of the treatment. The study aims to report the outcome of VPT, revascularization, and apexification procedures treated teeth in the endodontic department at King Abdulaziz University Dental Hospital performed by faculty and postgraduate residents. Materials and Methods: Thirty-three cases of VPT, revascularization, and apexification cases were evaluated. The outcome was assessed depending on the patient's signs and symptoms, healing of the apical periodontitis, and the signs of continued root development. Results: The overall results have shown that 60% of the cases were healed completely, 30% presented with incomplete healing, and 10% failed during the follow-up period and required further intervention. Conclusion: It has been concluded that the outcomes of VPT, revascularization, and apexification were fairly high as they favored healing of periapical periodontitis and root maturation with presentation of no signs and symptoms.

重要牙髓治疗、血运重建术和根尖手术的结果:一项回顾性研究

简介:重要牙髓治疗(VPT)、血运重建术和根尖化是不同的根管治疗方式，旨在保护牙齿结构和减少细菌渗漏，增加治疗的长期成功。本研究旨在报告在阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学牙科医院牙髓科由教师和研究生住院医师执行的VPT、血运重建术和根尖手术治疗牙齿的结果。材料与方法:对33例VPT、血运重建术和根尖成形术进行评价。评估结果取决于患者的体征和症状、根尖牙周炎的愈合情况以及牙根继续发育的迹象。结果:总体结果显示，60%的病例完全愈合，30%为不完全愈合，10%的病例在随访期间失败，需要进一步干预。结论:VPT、血运重建术和根尖成形术的效果是相当高的，因为它们有利于根尖周炎的愈合和根的成熟，而且没有任何体征和症状。
