| Abstract | ||
| Aim: The aim of this study is radiological assay of at least two years period of clinically asymptomatic faulty endodontic treatment among the patients sex and treated teeth location. Materials and Methods: A total of 447 individuals (20–60y age) from both sexes were selected, they had history of endodontic treatment for at least two years ago. They were clinically asymptomatic and radiographic examination showed they had faulty endodontic treatment. Radiographic examinations in this study was intraoral periapical projection, used bisecting angle technique, used dental x–ray machine, periapical film. Special chart was prepared for this study. The faulty endodontic treatments were radiographically categorized as under–filling, overfilling, missing root canal, perforations of the root canal, and fractured or separated instrument in the root canal. Statistically frequency distributions calculated. Chi–square test was used to calculate significance difference with the level of p < 0.05. Results: The results showed that the under–filling had the highest percentage of the faulty endodontic treatment and the females had a higher percentage than that of the males, and the posterior teeth had a higher percentage than that of the anterior teeth. Conclusion: Faulty endodontic treatment is not the direct cause of the signs and symptoms of endodontic treatment failure, there are no significant differences of the faulty endodontic treatment among the patients sex, but there is a significant difference among the location of the treated teeth. | ||
