Özet
Background: This retrospective study aimed to investigate the distribution of root canal treatment (RCT) procedures performed on first permanent molars according to age, sex, mandible, maxilla, right jaw, and left jaw in a group of children.Methods: The records of RCT of a total of 6286 first permanent molar teeth of 5432 patients aged 8-16 years who visited the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Dicle University, Turkey from 2013 to 2018 were examined. Moreover, parameters such as age, gender, lower jaw, upper jaw, right jaw, and left jaw were evaluated. Frequency analysis and Pearson correlation test were used for statistical analysis and the level of significance was set at P< 0.05.Results: The results of this study indicated that most of the boys (31.97%) received RCT of the lower left first molar tooth and most of the girls (34.21%) received RCT of the lower right first molar tooth. The tooth most receiving RCT was the mandibular right first permanent molar (33.09%). The tooth least receiving RCT was the maxillary right first permanent molar tooth (16.59%). In general, RCT was performed on the maxillary jaw less than on the mandibular.Conclusion: RCT of first permanent molars showed variability according to age and position of jaws. RCT was performed more on the mandibular jaw than on the maxillary. It was observed that the incidence of RCT generally increased with age.
