Area of Science:

  • Endodontics
  • Dental Surgery
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Single-visit endodontic therapy is a common dental procedure.
  • Assessing treatment success in deployed populations presents unique challenges.
  • Previous data on endodontic success in military settings is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the success rate of single-visit endodontic therapy.
  • To evaluate the outcomes of non-surgical endodontic treatment in a deployed military population.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 210 teeth underwent non-surgical endodontic therapy during Operation Desert Shield.
  • Follow-up evaluation was conducted on 102 teeth from 97 recalled patients.
  • Success was defined by clinical and radiographic outcomes post-treatment.

Main Results:

  • The patient recall rate was 58%.
  • The overall success rate for single-visit endodontic therapy was 89%.
  • The evaluated teeth showed a high incidence of positive outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Single-visit endodontic therapy is a highly successful treatment modality, even in challenging deployment scenarios.
  • The findings support the efficacy of endodontic treatment for maintaining dental health in military personnel.
  • Further research should explore long-term outcomes and factors influencing success in similar populations.
