Arab Dentists' Attitude to Single and Multiple Visit Root Canal Treatment (Survey Based Research)
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 11
Abstract
Abstract:Multiple visit root canal treatment was an established protocol in endodontics, but it has many disadvantages like inter appointment micro leakage and flare ups or loss of temporary seal, long time spending in root canal treatment leading to patient tiredness, operator fatigue, inability to do esthetic restorations in time in case of traumatically damaged crowns and discontinued treatment leading to failures.Single visit root canal treatment has been the debate within the dental community. Objectives:The aim of this study was to investigate the Arab dentists points of view related to single and multiple visit root canal treatment, identifying the basis on which the choice is made and how the information necessary for the choice is acquired. Materials and methods:A six questions questionnaire was sent to the Arab dentists through Emails, Facebook accounts, and phone messages. The following topics were addressed: current clinical procedures, treatment rationales and preferences. 325 Arab dentists responded to this questionnaire. Results:Singlevisit endodontic treatment is carried out in 40% of vital pulp cases, 20% of the cases of necrotic pulp without lesions and only 9 % of the cases of necrotic pulp without lesions.The presence of vital pulp (52%) and the absence of exudation (46%) are the most important criteria for carrying out single visit endodontic treatment. Conclusion:The Arab dentists prefer multiple visits over single visit root canal treatment in pulp necrosis cases. When pulp vitality is not compromised there is an increase in the number of Arab dentists who choose single visit root canal treatment
