To evaluate the prevalence of root canal treatment in a three specialized private clinics in Baghdad and to determine the reasons for carrying out root canal treatment. A total number of 593 case sheets of patients were selected irrespective of their age, gender, type of tooth treated and cause of endodontic treatment. The data were categorized as follows: the total number of maxillary and mandibular teeth; the number of each individual tooth group treated; the number of teeth treated in each age group (8-25, 26-49, 50-67 years); the total number of treatments performed in males and females patients as well as the causative factor for endodontic treatment. The maxillary teeth showed higher percentage (55.986%) of root canal treatment than mandibular teeth (44.013%), while mandibular molars show higher percentage (23.102%) in the treated cases than other teeth groups. The highest incidence of root canal treatment was found in the age group twenty-six to forty-nine (49.915%). The female patients were more frequent (67.116%) than male patients. The dental caries was the most causative factor. The sequel of dental caries was responsible for the majority of the treated cases in which the female patients and maxillary teeth were more frequent.
