Active clinical trials for "Dental Pulp Diseases"

The aim of the study was to evaluate the root canal treatments performed from 1989 to 1995. Type of complication, success, new endodontic diseases and number of success were reported. Mean clinical parameters were clinical symptoms and presence/absence of apical radiolucency.

According to several studies, patients consider endodontic treatment as one of the most stress-inducing dental procedures. Two studies demonstrated that music enables the patient to be less stressed during RCT. RCTs are also stressful for the practitioner, and particularly for students who start their dental practice. Endodontic and prosthetic cares are considered the most demanding by students. RCT requires high degree of precision in gestures and patience because those technical acts are, in part, blindly realised and can be long. In a preliminary study, it was found that the most stress-inducing steps for the students during endodontic treatment are root-canal preparation and filling. The beneficial side of listening to music on the patient's stress during RCT has been proved; but to our knowledge, no study assessed the effect of listening to music on the stress of the practitioner and more particularly of the young practitioner, during endodontic treatment, and in particular during root canal preparation. This is the main aim of this study.
