The etiology and symptoms of endodontic cases treated in a university clinic in Saudi Arabia
A.S. Al-Yahya, BDS, MS, H.A. Selirn, BFS, MS,
Endodontic patients treated at a University Dental Clinic over a two-year period were studied. A total of 281 patients seen in a beginning endodontic course were analyzed to determine 1) the etiology of the pul-pal disease presenting, and 2) the signs and symptoms of pulpal disease. Results indicated that caries was the most prevalent reason for endodontic treatment. Most cases (40.6%) were asymptomatic. Lower molars were the most commonly affected and there was no significant difference in endodontic treatment distribution between males and females in the patient population studied.
