Abstract

The evaluation of the quality of the endodontic therapy as well as of the evolution of the periapical injuries is carried out mainly by radiographic examination. The objective in this work was to evaluate radiographically the quality of the endodontic treatments performed by specialists from a dental service, through analysis of 230 periodical x-rays, in which it was evaluated the presence of periapical injury, the limit and the quality of the endodontic obturations. The rate of adequacy of the endodontic therapy was high (63%) in relation to the population studies of this type, indicating that the rigid control of quality can provide superior indices of success in the endodontic therapy.
