Abstract
Aim To gather information about which materials and methods Dutch dentists use to perform endodontic treatment. Materials and Methods On November 6, 2009 during a general dental conference in the Netherlands a questionnaire was handed out to 341 dentists. After de conference, the questionnaires where retaken. Different aspects of the endodontic treatment were discussed in the questionnaire. On the basis of the questionnaire were different areas of the endodontic treatment evaluated. Ways of referring, assess complexity of endodontic treatment, performing operative endodontic treatment and post-graduate training in endodontics. To analyze the data Spearmans correlation, non-parametric and parametric tests were used. The level of significance was set at 0.05. Results Of the 110 (32.2%) returned questionnaires 102 (29.9%) were complete and therefore useful. The majority of the respondents are general dental practitioners (96.1%). 23.8% used the DETI/CEB score, with no significant difference between experienced and inexperienced respondents (p>0.05). Inexperienced respondents refer an endodontic treatment more often than experienced colleagues (p<0.05). In the presence of preoperative pain endodontic treatment is performed over several visits (p<0.001). 65.3% of the respondents used rubber dam during endodontic treatment, and recently graduated respondents used rubber dam more frequently than experienced colleagues (p<0.001). No significant difference was found in the use of mechanical rotary instruments and hand preparation in relation to years of experience (p = 0.85). 90.6% of the respondents used a special endodontic handpiece or engine during the mechanical preparation. Cold lateral compaction was used by 56.9% of the respondents in comparison with other filling technologies. The majority of the respondents (97.1%) used sodium hypochlorite as disinfectant. More than half of the respondents used preparation and filling technologies recommended during a course or conference. Conclusion Practicing dentists in the Netherlands use conventional endodontic preparation, filling and disinfection methods. The pre-operative assessment of the difficulty of an endodontic treatment and the use of rubber dam are not routinely applied.
