Metapex'in Süt Dişi Kanal Tedavilerindeki Etkinliği

AMAÇ: Bu çalışmanın amacı, süt molar dişlerinde kanal dolgu patı olan Metapex'in klinik ve radyografik olarak değerlendirilmesidir. YÖNTEM : Yaşları 3 ila 9 arası değişen 50'şer adet çocuk hastadan oluşan 2 ayrı çalışma grubunda 50'şer adet süt molar diş Metapex ile dolduruldu ve post-operatif 3 ve 6 aylık periyotlarda klinik ve radyografik olarak değerlendirildi. BULGULAR: Klinik ve radyografik bulguların birbirini desteklediği gözlendi. Metapex'in 3 aylık kontrol başarı oranı her iki değerlendirme yöntemi için de %100 olarak bulundu. 6 aylık kontrol başarı oranı ise %98 olarak tespit edildi. SONUÇ: Metapex'in istenilen seviyede başarı gösterdiği ve süt dişi kanal tedavisinde güvenilir olarak kullanılabileceği kanısına varıldı.

Efficacy of Metapex in Root Canal Treatment of Primary Teeth

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate clinically and radiographically the efficacy of Metapex as root canal filling material in primary molars. METHODS: 50 primary molars in two groups of children aged 3-9 years were obturated with Metapex and were postoperatively followed-up clinically and radiographically for periods of 3 and 6 months. RESULTS: The clinical and radiological findings were in accordance with each other. The overall success rate was 100% for the group of 3-month follow-up and 98% for the 6-month follow-up-group. CONCLUSION: Metapex showed a favorable success rate and can be used safely as root canal filling in primary teeth.
