number of each individual tooth group treated; the number of teeth treated in each age
group (8-25, 26-49, 50-67 years); the total number of treatments performed in males
and females patients as well as the causative factor for endodontic treatment.
The maxillary teeth showed higher percentage (55.986%) of root canal treatment
than mandibular teeth (44.013%), while mandibular molars show higher percentage
(23.102%) in the treated cases than other teeth groups. The highest incidence of root
canal treatment was found in the age group twenty-six to forty-nine (49.915%). The
female patients were more frequent (67.116%) than male patients. The dental caries
was the most causative factor.
The sequel of dental caries was responsible for the majority of the treated cases in
