RESUMO

The radiographic test is an essential diagnosis component in the treatment of problems of endodontic origin. Despite the technical and scientific developments in endodontics, the number of endodontic retreatment continues high. In this scenario, Computerized Beam Cone Tomography (CBCT) is used to obtain three-dimensional images without distortions of structures belonging to the dentomaxillofacial complex and its adjacent tissues. The CBCT allows a precocious detection of the dimension and extension of periapical and resorptive diseases, even before they appear in periapical radiographs. In face of such facts, this study aimed at comparing the incidence of endodontic retreatment in 1997, 2001 and 2007 in patients assisted at FOBs endodontic clinics. For this end, all cases of root canal retreatment were analyzed and quantified, as well as the group of teeth with higher incidence, the distribution according to gender, including a survey of the possible reasons for such occurrence, compare two methods of diagnosis by image in endodontics, the Computerized Beam Cone Tomography and the periapical radiograph. Such comparison was performed by two examiners, an endodontist and a radiologist, who analyzed the 102 images obtained from 41 cases of endodontic retreatment assisted at FOB between 2008 and 2009. For this comparison, a questionnaire about the main findings detected in the images was used. There was no increase in incidence in the three periods on focus and a higher incidence among females; the tooth with higher incidence for retreatment was the maxillary central incisor. The main reason for retreatment was endodontic restoration beneath cement-dentin-root canal limit. As for the comparison of tests by image, CBCT showed to be the procedure of higher concordance of diagnosis among the professionals, what indicates that this method is relevant in the diagnosis, localization and reconstruction of images of fairly good resolution, helping professionals with therapeutic planning and success, reducing the possibility of errors and the consequent failure of the endodontic treatment.
