Abstract
Root Canal treatment is a conservative treatment aimed at preserving a functional tooth for long periods with prevention/ treatment of pulp and periapical lesions to avoid caries and maintain it in situ. The objective of our study was to assess and delineate the degree of tooth resistance to fracture following the completion of root canal treatment. 95 patients between the ages of 25 and 55 years who underwent root canal treatment through root filling were recruited. The duration of the study ranged from one year, ranged ranged from January 14, 2022, to March 17, 2023, and patient data were collected from dental clinics in Baghdad, Iraq. In achieve of study’s aim, we evaluated the intensity of pain and the level of fracture resistance of the teeth in terms of mild, moderate, and severe after the root canal treatment procedure. Our findings shown that patients with ages (25 - 35) years were the most class which, include 45 cases; males had 57 cases and females had 38 cases; smokers were 56 cases, and tooth pain was the most symptoms prevalent in the patients, which include 74 cases, molar had 40 cases, which it was most common included within tooth types and location included maxilla had 57 cases, and mandibula had 38 cases, noncaries had 38 cases while primary caries 30 cases, the success rate of root filling procedure was 94.74% and the failure rate was 5.26%, where the degree of resistance of teeth to fracture classified into mild with 3 cases, moderate with 5 cases, and severe with 2 cases. The current study indicates that root canal treatment is an essential and crucial procedure to treat patients' dental caries, provides pain relief, and achieve the overall optimal health of patients.
