Use of Root-end Filling Materials After Root-end Resections Among Oral Surgeons: A National Survey

Objective: The placement of a root-end filling material to seal the end of the root canal is one of the most important procedures in apical surgery. In Turkey, root-end surgeries are most often performed by oral surgeons. This national survey aimed to evaluate and describe the use of root-end filling materials after apical resections among oral surgeons. Materials and Methods: A web-based survey consisting of nine questions was prepared using Google forms, and the link to the survey was sent to the oral surgeons. The questionnaire collected information regarding age, gender, level of education, number of years of practice, type of institution, average frequency of root-end resections performed per month, whether root-end filling material was used after apical resections, type of the root-end filling material used and reasons for not placing a root-end filling material. Data was expressed as percentages and frequency rates. Chi-square test was used to identify associations between the usage patterns and surgeons’ demographics. Results: A total of 155 questionnaires were returned. Most of the oral surgeons surveyed (82.6%) performed root-end resections at a rate of

Çene Cerrahları Arasında Apikal Rezeksiyon Sonrası Kök-ucu Dolgu Maddesi Kullanımı: Ulusal Anket Çalışması

Amaç: Kök kanal sonlanmasını kapatmak amacıyla kök-ucu dolgusu yerleştirme işlemi apikal cerrahinin önemli basamaklarından birisidir. Ülkemizde kök-ucu cerrahisi işlemini çoğunlukla çene cerrahları gerçekleştirmektedir. Bu ulusal anketin amacı çene cerrahlarının apikal rezeksiyon sonrası kök-ucu dolgu maddesi kullanımını değerlendirmek ve sunmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Google formlar aracılığıyla 9 sorudan oluşan web-tabanlı bir anket hazırlandı ve anketin URL bağlantısı çene cerrahlarına gönderildi. Hazırlanan ankette katılımcının yaş, cinsiyet, öğrenim durumu, mesleki deneyim, kurum, aylık tedavi sayısına göre kök-ucu rezeksiyonu yapma sıklığı, apikal rezeksiyon sonrası kök-ucu dolgu maddesi kullanıp kullanmadığı, kullanılan kök-ucu dolgu maddesi çeşidi ve kök-ucu dolgu maddesi kullanmama nedenleri bilgileri sorulmaktaydı. Veriler yüzde ve sıklık oranları şeklinde ifade edildi. Kullanım paternleri ve cerrah demografikleri arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek için ki-kare testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Toplamda 155 ankete geri dönüş yapıldı. Anketi yanıtlayan çene cerrahlarının çoğu (%82,6) apikal rezeksiyon işlemini ayda
