Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Endodontic treatment results were assessed in a controlled clinical study in Arhus. Undergraduate students used either Kloroperka or AH26 as sealer in a randomized fashion. The findings were compared with the results from a previous study of identical design in Oslo, which involved Kloroperka, AH26 and ProcoSol. While Kloroperka performed slightly, but significantly less well than AH26 or ProcoSol in the Oslo study, no difference was found between Kloroperka and AH26 in the present study. The overall treatment results were poorer in Arhus than in Oslo, but this might be explained by a marked difference in the preoperative diagnoses and in the technical problems associated with the teeth selected for treatment. When results of endodontic treatment carried out at different locations are compared, variations in case selection and preoperative diagnoses must be corrected for in order to obtain an adequate basis for comparison.
