Abstract
Objectives: This study was done to evaluate the healing rate of a radiolucent lesion in root canal treated teeth done at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia
(HUSM) dental clinics by the students and dentists.
Materials and Methods: Seventy-eight patient’s case sheets who attended HUSM dental clinic from January 2013 to December 2018 that met the inclusion criteria were collected, assessed, and compiled. The information was collected related to the period of treatment and radiolucency size by measurement through radiograph. Healing rate of radiolucent lesions for 56 root canal treated teeth were calculated and recorded.
Result: The result showed that the healing rate for radiolucent lesions of RCT treated by student involving 39 teeth (22 anteriors, 3 premolars, 14 molars)
was 1.904mm2/month and by dentist involving 17 teeth (6 anterior, 2 premolar, 9 molar) is 0.947 mm2/month.
