Brief Summary

The color change of endodontically treated teeth is a common concern in clinical practice. The objective of this study will be to evaluate, in vivo, the color change (ΔE00) caused by endodontic treatment. A observational retrospective study will be conducted to evaluate the ΔE00 of anterior (incisors and canines) and posterior (premolar) teeth treated at a private clinic, regardless of technique, treatment time and sealer used. In this study the ΔE00 will be evaluated using the measurements obtained in the homologous tooth (without endodontic treatment) versus the measurement obtained from the tooth treated endodontically. The values of ΔE00 obtained for each sealer, cut and time will be analyzed by multifactorial analysis to verify associations of the outcomes with the ΔE00.

Conditions

Endodontically Treated Teeth; Root Canal Infection; Tooth Discoloration

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Color alteration

  Color alteration (CIEDE2000 color difference metric - ΔE00) will be evaluated using the measurements obtained in the homologous tooth (without endodontic treatment) versus the measurement obtained from the tooth treated endodontically.

  ranging from 1 month to 5 years after endodontic treatment.

Study Arms (1)

endodontic

The color of anterior (incisors and canines) and posterior (premolar) teeth treated at a private clinic in the city of Pelotas will be evaluated. Data will be collected regardless of technique, treatment time and sealer used. The ΔE00 will be evaluated using the measurements obtained in the homologous tooth (without endodontic treatment) versus the measurement obtained from the tooth treated endodontically. The values of ΔE00 obtained for each sealer, cut and time will be analyzed by multifactorial analysis to verify associations of the outcomes with the ΔE00.

Procedure: endodontic treatment

Interventions

endodontic treatment PROCEDURE

Color measurements of endodontically treated teeth (incisors, canines or premolar) will be collected regardless of technique, treatment time and sealer used.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients who underwent endodontic treatment and who presented the homologous tooth without endodontic treatment in order to perform a color comparison measurement.

You may qualify if:

• endodontically treated tooth, without intraradicular retainer and fixation;
• presence of homologous tooth to that treated, with pulp vitality and at least 1/3 of the crown;
• correctly patient's file showing the endodontic treatment day, the endodontic filler used, the pulp condition at the first consultation, and periapical radiography, obtained with the use of a radiographic positioner, preserved and with a clear apical image

You may not qualify if:

• dental elements submitted to retreatment;
• files with insufficient data, and absence of quality periapical radiography
