    Radiologic Assessment of Periapical Health: Comparison of 3 Different Index Systems
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2015) GÜMRÜ TARÇIN, BİRSAY; Tarcin, Bilge; Gumru, Birsay; Iriboz, Emre; Turkaydin, Dilek Erbay; Ovecoglu, Hesna Sazak
    Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate observer variations and observer reproducibility in the interpretation of periapical health using the Strindberg system, the periapical index (PAI), and the probability index for radiologic assessment of periapical health. Methods: Four observers read digital periapical images to evaluate the periapical health of 200 root-filled teeth. Each observer evaluated a tooth twice by using the Strindberg system, twice by using the PAI, and twice by using the probability index. Each observation session was held at 1-month intervals. Three scores were used for the evaluations conducted by using the Strindberg system. Both the PAI and the probability index were considered on 5-point scales and were also dichotomized. SPSS for Windows 15.0 software (SPSS InC, Chicago, IL) was used for data analysis, and intra- and interobserver agreements were described by using kappa statistics. Results: The average kappa values of intra- and interobserver agreement calculated for the Strindberg system were 0.53 and 0.36, respectively. The corresponding average kappa values were calculated as 0.48 and 0.39 for the PAI and 0.45 and 0.30 for the probability index. The highest mean proportion values of intra- and interobserver agreement were observed for the dichotomization of the PAI (88.9% and 87.0%, respectively) followed by the dichotomization of the probability index (86.8% and 82.9%, respectively). Conclusions: The Strindberg system has lower intraobserver variation compared with the PAI and the probability index, whereas PAI has lower interobserver variation compared with the Strindberg system and the probability index. The dichotomization of the PAI and the probability index provided higher intra- and interobserver agreement values in the radiologic assessment of periapical health.

    Assessment of the periapical health of abutment teeth: A retrospective radiological study
    (WOLTERS KLUWER MEDKNOW PUBLICATIONS, 2015) GÜMRÜ TARÇIN, BİRSAY; Gumru, B.; Tarcin, B.; Iriboz, E.; Turkaydin, D. E.; Unver, T.; Ovecoglu, H. S.
    Aim: The aim was to examine the technical quality of root fillings and periapical status of root-filled and nonroot-filled teeth restored with crowns and bridge retainers through a retrospective analysis of orthopantomographs (OPTGs) in an adult Turkish subpopulation. Materials and Methods: In this study, the digital OPTGs of adult patients between the ages of 20 and 70 who appealed to the Endodontics Endodontics Department of the Dentistry Faculty at Marmara University (Istanbul, Turkey) for the first time to have their endodontic treatment needs met were used. The periapical health of all teeth restored with crowns and bridge retainers, and the technical quality of the root fillings on abutment teeth were evaluated by radiographic criteria. Results: The survey was carried out using the OPTGs of 1000 adult patients composed of 590 (59.0%) women and 410 (41.0%) men. 4656 (20.9%) of the totally examined 22280 teeth were with crowns and bridge retainers. 986 of the total abutment teeth were root-filled and 458 (46.5%) of them had apical periodontitis (AP) while 3670 of the total abutment teeth were nonroot-filled and 930 (25.3%) of them were with AP. The most commonly treated teeth were premolars (33.8%), followed by molars (26.2%), incisors (23.3%) and canines (16.7%). Technical quality was proved to be adequate in 27.5% of the root fillings. A higher frequency of AP was related to inadequate root fillings (P < 0.01). Conclusion: The frequency of root-filled abutment teeth with AP, nonroot-filled abutment teeth with AP, and technically inadequate root-fillings among teeth with crowns and bridge retainers was high in the selected adult population.
