Abstract

Abstract: Introduction: Pulp and periodontal tissues may communicate and, in pathological situations, combined endodontic-periodontal lesions may be established.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of endo-perio lesions in non-molar and molar teeth referred for endodontic treatment.

Material and method: The sample consisted of 104 teeth evaluated in 79 consecutive patients in a cross-sectional design. Visible plaque, probing depth, and bleeding on probing were evaluated. Endodontic evaluation included the presence or absence of caries, fistulas, pain, and pulp sensitivity. The presence/absence of periapical lesion, bone loss in the furcation region, and proximal area were evaluated.

Result: The results showed that pain was the main reason for seeking dental care in 63.3% of patients. The molar teeth demonstrated higher presence of probing depth (PD) ≥ 7 mm (38.3%) and higher PD mean (6.17 mm) than non-molar teeth (P<0.05). It was verified that 65.4% of the teeth were diagnosed with a primary endodontic lesion and that the periodontal component was present in 34.6% of the teeth, either in a primary (10.6%), secondary (11.5%), or combined form (12.5%). True combined endodontic-periodontal lesion occurred significantly in molar teeth compared to non-molar teeth (p<0.05).

Conclusion: The primary endodontic lesion was found in a greater proportion in teeth referred for endodontic treatment; however, approximately 1/3 of the sample had periodontal involvement, which demonstrates the importance of the periodontal examination together with the general clinical examination.

Resumo

Resumo: Introdução: Os tecidos pulpar e periodontal podem se comunicar e, em situações patológicas, podem-se estabelecer lesões endodônticas-periodontais combinadas.

Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a prevalência de lesões endo-perio em dentes não molares e molares encaminhados para tratamento endodôntico.

Material e método: A amostra consistiu de 104 dentes avaliados em 79 pacientes consecutivos em um desenho transversal. Placa visível, profundidade de sondagem e sangramento à sondagem foram avaliados. A avaliação endodôntica incluiu a presença ou ausência de cáries, fístulas, dor e sensibilidade pulpar. Foram avaliados a presença / ausência de lesão periapical, perda óssea em região de furca e área proximal.

Resultado: Os resultados mostraram que a dor foi o principal motivo de procura de atendimento odontológico em 63,3% dos pacientes. Os dentes molares demonstraram maior presença de profundidade de sondagem (PS) ≥ 7 mm (38,3%) e maior média de PS (6,17 mm) do que os dentes não molares (P <0,05). Verificou-se que 65,4% dos dentes tinham diagnóstico de lesão endodôntica primária e que o componente periodontal estava presente em 34,6% dos dentes, seja na forma primária (10,6%), secundária (11,5%) ou combinada (12,5%). Lesão endodôntica-periodontal combinada verdadeira ocorreu significativamente em dentes molares em comparação com os dentes não molares (p <0,05).

Conclusão: A lesão endodôntica primária foi encontrada em maior proporção nos dentes encaminhados para tratamento endodôntico; entretanto, aproximadamente 1/3 da amostra apresentava acometimento periodontal, o que demonstra a importância do exame periodontal em conjunto com o exame clínico geral.
