ABSTRACT:
Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the frequency of various causes of root canal treatment in the Dental Department of Rawal General and Dental Hospital, Islamabad. Methods: The study was conducted at the Dental Department of Rawal General and Dental Hospital, Islamabad for six-months duration from February 2020 to July 2020. 595 patients who came to the OPD department were selected for the study, regardless of gender. Teeth requiring root canal treatment were carefully assessed on the basis of their vitality, any trauma, prior treatment (if any) and / or deliberate treatment due to some restorative surgery. Socioeconomic status was also noted during the study as it has a significant impact on the patient's oral hygiene. Results and Conclusion: Of the 595 patients included in the study, pulp necrosis (38.31%) was the most common cause of root canal treatment, followed by irreversible pulpitis (34.28%), targeted root canal treatment (3.36%), trauma (8.40%), failure of root canal treatment (10.92%) and other causes (4.70%).
