Abstract

Background: Progressive changes in the pathology and treatment process of the root canal have changed the properties, reducing the health and durability of teeth . In order to have a general overview of the clinical features of endodontically treated bicuspids at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital in 2019-2021. Objectives: To describe the clinical features of endodontically treated bicuspids. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study in 56 patients who had endodontically treated bicuspids. Results: The age of group 18-39 accounted for a high proportion (58.9%) in the study sample. Women (66.1%) were more common than men (33.9%). Educational background: Undergraduates - Graduates - Postgraduates (48.2%). The percentages of bicuspids with endodontic treatment in the upper jaw (66%) were higher than that of the lower jaw (34%). Among the bicuspids with endodontic treatment in the upper right jaw, the right side (44.6%) accounted for a higher rate than the left (21.4%). Among the bicuspids with endodontic treatment in the lower jaw, the left side (23.2%) accounted for a higher rate than the right (10.8%). Enlarged lesion was 82.1%, moderate lesion was 17.9% and minimal lesion is 0%. The figure of distal wall loss, mesial wall loss and mesial – occlusal – distal wall loss was 51.8%, 42.9%, 5.3%, respectively. Conclusions: The upper bicuspids are the teeth with the highest rate of root canal treatment, the caries are usually of enlarged size and have mesial or distal wall loss.
