Abstract

RESUMEN Introducción: la falsa vía es la apertura artificial en las paredes del conducto debido a penetración de la dentina; lo que provoca comunicación entre el espacio pulpar y el periodonto. Estos accidentes suelen ocurrir durante la realización de tratamientos endodónticos o al preparar el lecho para colocación de pernos. Esto provoca daño al periodonto, pudiendo desarrollarse bolsas periodontales. Objetivo: identificar la frecuencia de estos accidentes, y determinar su asociación con la presencia de periodontitis. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal en la Facultad de Estomatología de La Habana, entre enero de 2011 y enero de 2016. El universo estuvo constituido por 50 dientes con falsa vía, correspondientes a 50 pacientes. La información se obtuvo a través de: interrogatorio, examen clínico, radiografías e historias clínicas, previo consentimiento de los pacientes. Se procedió al llenado de un formulario confeccionado al efecto. Resultados: el 52,0 % de falsas vías correspondió al grupo de 35 a 59 años, los dientes más afectados fueron los incisivos, con 40,0 %. El 60,0 % de las perforaciones fueron ocasionadas por terapia endodóntica. Se detectó periodontitis en el 30,0 % de los dientes perforados. Conclusiones: las falsas vías fueron predominantes en el grupo de edad de 35 a 59 años, los incisivos fueron los dientes más afectados, la mayoría de las lesiones se produjo durante la terapia endodóntica. Más de la cuarta parte de las lesiones estuvo asociada a periodontitis.

ABSTRACT Introduction: the false way is the artificial opening in the walls of the conduit due to penetration of the dentin; which causes communication between the pulp space and the periodontium. These accidents often occur during endodontic treatments or when preparing the bed for bolt placement. This causes damage to the periodontium, and periodontal pockets may develop. Objective: to identify the frequency of these accidents, and to determine their association with the presence of periodontitis. Materials and methods: a descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in the Faculty of Dentistry of Havana, between January 2011 and January 2016. The universe consisted of 50 teeth with false pathway, corresponding to 50 patients. The information was obtained through: interrogation, clinical examination, radiographs and medical histories, with the consent of the patients. A completed form was filled out. Results: 52,0 % of false pathways corresponded to the group of 35 to 59 years, the teeth most affected were the incisors, with 40,0 %. 60,0 % of the perforations were caused by endodontic therapy. Periodontitis was detected in 30,0 % of the perforated teeth. Conclusions: the false pathways were predominant in the age group of 35 to 59 years, the incisors were the most affected teeth, most of the lesions occurred during endodontic therapy. More than a quarter of the lesions were associated with periodontitis.

A clinical and roentgenological study of 55 cases of root perforation.

Manfred J. Oswald, Arne G Grønningsaeter, Tanya Halse … (1989)

The treatment outcome of 55 root perforations in man were related to pretreatment conditions and various treatment procedures used, with a mean recall period of 3 years 5 months. In this study maxillary teeth were perforated three times more often (74.5 per cent) than mandibular teeth (25.5 per cent); 47 per cent of the perforations were due to endodontic and 53 per cent due to prosthodontic treatment. The buccal and mesial root surfaces as well as the midroot areas were most often perforated. In 25 per cent, radiographic changes were directly related to the perforated areas. Twenty-eight perforations were repaired by orthograde fillings with gutta-percha and Kloro-percha N-phi; eight received a combined orthograde and surgical repair, and in only three cases a surgical approach was used. Four cases received no treatment but were recalled, and twelve perforations showed a size and location hopeless for repair; the teeth were therefore extracted. Five failures of the primary orthograde treatment group later underwent surgical treatment and were followed up for 3 years 3 months. The overall success rate in the primary treatment group of teeth was 56 per cent while 36 per cent became failures. Five failures were retreated, and four of these became successful. A combined orthograde and surgical repair of the perforations provided the most favourable outcome with 92 per cent successful. The study stresses the importance of preventing this type of treatment complication.
