Association of Age and Gender of Patients Who Underwent Perforation Repair Done in Mandibular First Molar

Perforation is an artificial communication between the root canal system and supporting tissues of the teeth. Root perforation complicates the treatment and deprives the prognosis if not properly managed. Literature shows many reviews on diagnosis, treatment plan and factors affecting prognosis of perforation repair; but none of these articles elaborated upon age and gender association of patients undergoing perforation repair. The present article aims to evaluate the association between age and gender of patients who underwent perforation repair in mandibular first molar. The study sample consists of all patients between the age group 18-60 years who underwent perforation repair in mandibular first molar from June 2019 – April 2020 at the SDC. The data collected were analysed for the number, age, gender and material used for perforation repair. For a comparison between different variables, statistical package IBM SPSS version 21.0, SPSS, Chicago II, USA software analyzer was used and the statistics were obtained.
