Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to assess prospectively the clinical outcome of nonsurgical endodontic treatment and identify patient- and tooth-related factors, rather than treatment-related factors, that were the best predictors of this outcome. Materials and Methods: The inception cohort comprised 441 teeth (320 patients) and 175 teeth (123 patients) were followed up for 1-2 years. Age, gender, presence of medical disease, number of canals, previous endodontic treatment, presence of sensitivity and pain, pulp vitality, swelling or sinus tract of pulpal origin on the gingiva, periapical radiolucency and tendency of unilateral bite on the affected tooth were recorded at treatment start. Results: The outcome was classified on the basis of periapical radiolucency as healed or non healed. The overall healed rate in these cases, including nonsurgical retreatment, was 81.1%. Four tooth-related factors had a negative impact in the bivariate analysis: previous endodontic treatment, necrotic pulp, preoperative gingival swelling or sinus tract of pulpal origin, and preoperative periapical radiolucency. Stepwise logistic regression analysis including patient-, tooth-related factors and level of the root canal filling as a treatment-related factor showed that preoperative gingival lesion (odds ratio [OR]: 4.4; p = 0.005), preoperative periapical radiolucency (OR: 3.6; p = 0.011), and $\leq$ 1-2 mm under root filling length (OR: 9.6; p = 0.012) were significant predictors of failure. Conclusions: A preoperative gingival lesion of pulpal origin can influence the outcome of nonsurgical endodontic treatment in addition to preoperative periapical radiolucency.

연구목적: 이 연구는 근관치료 전문의에 의해 시행된 비외과적 근관치료의 임상적 성공률을 전향적으로 평가하고, 치료 성공율과 관련된 환자요인과 치아요인의 영향력을 평가하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 비외과적 근관치료가 이루어진 441개 치아 중 175개의 치아를 1-2년 후 임상적 검진과 방사선촬영을 하였다. 결과: 치근단 방사선 병소의 유무로 평가된 비외과적 근관치료의 성공율은 81.1% 였다. 치아요인 중 재근관치료, 괴사된 치수, 치수병변에서 유래된 치은의 부종 또는 sinus tract, 그리고 치료 전 치근단 병변의 존재는 이변수분석에서 치료성공에 부정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다 (p < 0.05). 환자요인, 치아요인과 근관충전의 길이를 포함한 단계적 로지스틱 회귀분석에서는 치수병변에서 유래된 치은의 문제 (odds ratio [OR]: 4.4; p = 0.005), 치료 전 치근단 병변의 존재 (OR: 3.6; p = 0.011), 그리고 치근단에서부터 1-2 mm 짧은 근관충전 (OR: 9.6; p = 0.012) 이 치료 실패와 관련된 주요한 요인으로 나타났다. 결론: 치료 전 치근단 병변의 존재뿐만 아니라 치수병변에서 유래된 치은의 부종 또는 sinus tract의 존재는 비외과적 근관치료의 실패에 영향을 줄 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
