Dental Root Canal Obturation
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of root canal treatment, or endodontic treatment, is to treat pulpal or periapical diseases and thus transform a pathological tooth into a healthy, asymptomatic and functional entity on the dental arch. The diagnosis of pulp pathology is based on the symptomatology described by the patient, on data from the clinical examination and tests performed as well as the radiographic examinations. Different families of root canal sealers are used in endodontics: cements based on zinc oxide-eugenol (ZOE), resin-based materials, and calcium silicate-based cements. They provide a stable and hermetic sealing. The Septodont laboratory has developed and manufactured endomethasone N, a zinc oxide-eugenol root canal sealer. The aim of this retro-prospective PMCF study is to collect long term clinical and safety data on root canal obturation after treatment or retreatment by Endomethasone N.
Interventions
DEVICEEndomethasone N
Endomethasone N is a powder intended to be mixed extemporaneously with a eugenol-based liquid (i.e, Endomethasone Liquid) to obtain a permanent root canal sealer. After selection of dentists, they will screen consecutively and systematically eligible patients, will send them the Patient Information Letter and will enroll them in the clinical investigation if non opposition from the patient. Patient clinical data will be recorded in an electronic Case Report Form. Pseudonymized retro-alveolar radiographies at baseline consultation and at 5 and 10 years post-obturation consultations will be recorded in the e-CRF. These radiographies will be examined by 2 independent endodontists and the results of these examinations will be recorded in the e-CRF. Site data will be collected on a Site Questionnaire with Visual Analog Scales.

Inclusion criteria
* Patient, male or female, \> 18 years of age at the time of inclusion in the study * Patient who had a non-surgical root canal treatment with Endomethasone N, in a context of an endodontic treatment, or retreatment, before 01-Mar-2016 * Having a documented patient follow-up visit (clinical examination and radiographic examination) at least 5 years after the endodontic treatment or retreatment with Endomethasone N * Patient affiliated or beneficiary of a social security system * Patient informed about the study and who confirm their non-opposition in participating in the study
Exclusion criteria
* History of malignant tumors in the 5 years prior to the root canal treatment * Non-stabilized systemic disease during the month prior to the root canal treatment (diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, etc.) * Patient who developed a systemic pathology after the root canal treatment with Endomethasone N * Patient who had endodontic treatment with Endomethasone N obturation on a wisdom tooth * Patient whose tooth has suspected perforation during endodontic treatment * Patient suffering from active non-stabilized periodontitis, untreated during endodontic treatment * Patients participating in an interventional clinical trial at the time of root canal treatment
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment of tooth functional retention | 10 years | Rate of tooth functional retention after Root Canal Treatment with Endomethasone N |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment of tooth functional retention | 5 years | Rate of tooth functional retention after Root Canal Treatment with Endomethasone N. |
| Assessment of the tooth functional retention after Root Canal Treatment with Endomethasone N according to initial treatment or retreatment | 5 and 10 years | Rate of tooth functional retention after Root Canal Treatment with Endomethasone N according to initial treatment or retreatment, on the basis of the same definition above |
| Assessment of the periapical healing | 5 and 10 years | The periapical healing (success of obturation with Endomethasone N based on radiological criteria) at 5 and 10 years after Root Canal Treatment, will be evaluated in patients with retro-alveolar radiographs at the follow-up consultation (in parallel of the baseline consultation). The periapical healing is defined as follows: * a periapical status considered "normal" (PAI score \<3) (See Appendix 2) * no resorption of the filling cement in the root, detectable on radiography * dense and homogeneous filling, limited to the canal, * a filling with the maintenance of the canal anatomy |
| The technical characteristics of the sealer Endomethasone N | 5 and 10 years | The technical characteristics of the sealer Endomethasone N at 5 and 10 years after Root Canal Treatment "Not resorbable once hardened", "Not retractable over the years" and "Radiopaque" will be evaluated in patients with retro-alveolar radiographs at the follow-up consultation (in parallel of the baseline consultation). The technical characteristics are defined as follows: * no resorption of the filling cement in the root, detectable on radiography * dense and homogeneous filling, limited to the canal, with no apparent void along the root canal walls * a filling with the maintenance of the canal anatomy |
| The ease of use and insertion of Endomethasone N in the canal | 5 and 10 years | The ease of use and insertion of Endomethasone N in the canal will be evaluated with the score obtained on the Visual Analog Scale: score from 0 (Not at all) to 10 (Certainly Yes). |
| The Investigator overall satisfaction of the experience with Endomethasone N | 5 and 10 years | The Investigator overall satisfaction of the experience with Endomethasone N will be evaluated at 5 and 10 years after Root Canal Obturation with the score obtained on the Visual Analog Scale : score from 0 (Not at all) to 10 (Certainly Yes). |
| The immediate and long-term post-obturation adverse device effects | Immediately after root canal filling, and at long-term (i.e. 5 and 10 years) | The immediate and long-term post-obturation adverse device effects will be evaluated with the list of adverse events immediately appearing after root canal filling and appearing at long-term (5 and 10 years) after root canal filling |
