Aim The aim of this study is to determine the distribution of etiological factors for endodontic treatment and to assess the condition of teeth and cases before endodontic treatment.
Material and method This study included the first 400 patients who sought treatment and were indicated for endodontic treatment
Results Among the teeth indicated for endodontic treatment, 195 (48,75%) had irreversible pulpitis, 63 (15,75%) had defective restoration, 81 (20,25%) had root canal treatment failure, 41 (10,25%) had necrosis and/or periapical lesions, and 20 (5%) had trauma as the etiological factors.
Conclusion This study revealed that irreversible pulpitis is the most important etiological factor for endodontic treatment. Root canal treatment failure and defective restorations are also significant factors. The most commonly affected teeth are the mandibular molars, maxillary molars, and maxillary central incisors.
