RESUMO

The aim of this study was to evaluate the root canal treatments performed between 1997 and 2001 by post-graduate students in the Endodontics specialization course of the Dental School of Piracicaba, State University of Campinas, Piracicaba,SP, Brazil. Patients were recalled during 2003 and 2004 for clinical and radiographic examinations. Among 608 records of the endodontically treated teeth, 308 (50.7%) were from teeth of patients who had returned for the examination. Forty-five (7.4%) of the total 308 teeth had been extracted, therefore, 263 teeth were examined. Univariate, bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed examined teeth. The female gender was more prevalent than the male (65.4%). The majority of the treated teeth were from the maxilla (53.9%), while 28.1% were mandibular molars. Mandibular and unirradicular teeth showed 83.6% and 88% of success, respectively. The prevalent age group was 21-29, but the highest success rate of root canal treatments was among 30-39 years group (p=0.008). The success of root canal treatment was 80.8%, and of the retreatment, 88.9%. The success related to normal pulp was 83.3%, and to necrosis without lesion was 88.9%. The multivariate analyses revealed that the presence of restoration was the only significant factor involved in the success of the endodontic treatment. Therefore, the success was significantly greater (86.5%) when teeth were restored (p=0.000). It was concluded that the complexity of the cases treated in the specialization course did not influence the success of the endodontic treatments and that the restoration is the main factor for a good prognosis of the endodontically treated teeth
