Abstract

Objective: To review the clinical and subclinical features of patients with periapical periodontitis who came for examination and treatment at the National Hospital of Odonto-Stomatology from April 2020 to April 2021. Subject and method: A cross-sectional descriptive study. Result: There were 25 male patients (41.67%) and 35 female patients (58.33%). The main reasons for seeking examination were swelling and pain, accounting for 56.67%, followed by tooth discoloration and presence of sinus tract at 11.67% and 10%, respectively. Cause by tooth traumatic: 21.67%, pultitis: 38.33%. Symptoms included tooth tenderness on percussion (91.67%), tooth discoloration (71.67%), tooth mobility (65%), and dental erosion (36.67%). The diameter of the lesion on radiographs was ≤ 5mm in 71.67% of cases and > 5mm in 28.33%. Conclusion: The age group ≥ 45 has the highest rate: 50.00%. Patients often go to examine the cause of pain and swelling. Incisors are the most common teeth among single-rooted teeth studied, the most common reason being tooth trauma. Clinical symptoms are faint with pain percussion accounting for the highest rate. Damage to the apical area on X-ray is mainly small in size (≤ 5mm) with a rate of 71.67%.
