The periapical status of all teeth (with the exception of third molars) was<br>examined using periapical index scoring system (PAI). Information were<br>investigated statistically using the Chi-squared test at the significance level of<br>p&lt;0.05.<br>Results: Out of 5822 examined teeth belonging to 300 patients 156 had one or more<br>teeth with apical periodontitis (PAI 3-5) and 253 individuals had one or more<br>endodontically treated teeth.<br>Conclusions: The discoveries of the exhibit examination come into concurred upon<br>with different investigations which accentuate that a worldwide improvement in<br>the quality of root canal treatment in general dental practice is required to promote<br>periradicular health.<br><br></p> ER -
