Prevalência de tratamento endodôntico e periodontite apical em diferentes populações do mundo, detectados por radiografias panorâmicas, periapicais e tomografia computadorizada cone beam. Robrac: revista odontologica do Brasil Central, Goiânia, v. 17, n. 43, p. 79-90, 2008.0104-7914http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/16531The prevalence of endodontic treatment and apical periodontitis in several populations of world was evaluated. The strategy of sources included bibliographical catalogue identified electronically for MEDLINE – (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed), EMBASE, CENTRAL, from 1966 up to May 15, 2008. As search strategy were used the terms - Apical Periodontitis, Periapical Periodontitis, Periapical Abscess, Periapical Granuloma, Epidemiology, Prevalence and Incidence. The search presented 262 articles, and 63 articles were associated with the study. The prevalence of apical periodontitis in relation of endodontic treatment showed high value. These indexes constitute important tool of evaluation, which shows the necessity of a permanent scientific actualization process, longitudinal control of the endodontic treatment, promotion of preventive practices of dental caries and dental trauma, and investments for the development of the science and technology related to the endodontics.porAcesso AbertoPeriodontite apicalAbscesso periapicalSucesso endodônticoGranuloma dentalEpidemiologiaApical periodontitisSuccessPeriapical abscessEpidemiologyDental granulomaArtigo
