Outcome assessment of non-surgical endodontic treatment applied in chronic periodontitis teeth using mineral trioxide aggregate in filling apical root canal

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess clinical symptoms, X-ray and the treatment outcome of chronic apical periodontitis by nonsurgical management with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate. Methods: case series study. All teeth diagnosed with chronic apical periodontitis and shown as apical lesions on X-ray film with diameter of less than or equal to 10 mm were studied. They were treated by non-surgical endodontic with MTA and gutta percha in filling root canal. Results: Woman: 46.2%; man: 53.8%. 20-45 years old: is highest proportion (50.0%). Clinical symptoms of patient having the teeth with apical periodontitis: Swelling gum and mobile teeth are highest percentage (58.3%); teeth with cavities: 33.3%, periapical lesion with crescent shape is mainly (54.84%). Treatment results after 1 week: success: 96.77%; failure: 3.3%; Treatment results after 6 months: success: 93.1%. Conclusions: The outcomes of endodontic treatment of teeth with chronic apical periodontitis using MTA is high.
