Sabit Protez İntraoral Radyografi Periapikal İndeks Diş Hekimliği Eğitimi
Objective: The aim of this study was to radiographically
evaluate the periapical status of vital teeth that serve as
abutments to fixed metal ceramic dental prostheses (FDP)
three years after undergraduate dental students performed the
treatment.
Material-Method: The study sample consisted of 395 vital
and intact teeth prior to the permanent cementation of FDP of
44 female and 23 male patients with a mean age of 50.8±11.8
years. The type of FDP and the type of teeth, as well as the age
and gender of the patients, were recorded. Patient satisfaction
with the treatment was also determined. Each tooth was
examined on periapical radiographs and scored using the
periapical index (PAI) to determine the periapical status.
Results: Interobserver agreement between readings was
0.87. Fifty-six patients (83.5%) were satisfied with their
treatment. The percentage of apical periodontitis was found
to be the least in mandibular incisors (3.4%, p<0.05). Apical
periodontitis was more frequently observed in maxillary
teeth than in mandibular teeth (20% and 10.6%, respectively;
p<0.05).
Conclusions: Although patients were generally satisfied with
the treatment they received, and FDP treatment performed
by undergraduate students appears to be satisfactory, more
emphasis must be placed on the supervision of students to
obtain better results.
