Mann-Whitney U 检验结果显示,按照盖髓材料、性别、牙列、牙位因素分别分组,钙化桥指数及其变化(DBI1、DBI2、DBI2 vs . DBI1)与牙髓钙化指数变化(PCI1 vs . PCI0、PCI2 vs . PCI0)的组间差异均无统计学意义( P >0.05)。

经Spearman非参数相关性分析检验,发现年龄与术前牙髓钙化指数(PCI0)正相关( P < 0.05),但与术后1年、2年的钙化桥指数(DBI1、DBI2)、牙髓钙化指数(PCI1,PCI2)及其变化程度(DBI2 vs . DBI1、PCI1 vs . PCI0、PCI2 vs . PCI0)无相关性( P >0.05)。同样经Spearman非参数相关性分析检验,PCI0与PCI1 vs . PCI0 ( P =0.001)、PCI2 vs . PCI0 (PCI2-PCI0) ( P =0.007)呈高度负相关,但与DBI2 vs . DBI0无相关性( P >0.05),而DBI2 vs . DBI0与PCI2 vs . PCI0有弱的正相关性( P =0.05)。

3. 讨论

本研究iRoot组与MTA组牙髓切断术均获得良好的疗效,2年的临床成功率均为100%,两者在促进钙化桥形成和牙髓钙化方面差异均无统计学意义。有55.6%的病例形成牙本质桥,同时75.0%的病例牙髓钙化加重。由于本研究样本量有限,以上结论有待大样本量的临床随机对照研究的进一步验证。

以往在对年轻恒牙牙髓切断后髓腔钙化情况的临床研究主要使用定性指标 [ 17 ] ,如是否有钙化桥形成、髓角消失、与同名牙相比是否髓腔钙化加重等。本研究改良了美国牙髓病学会的牙髓钙化分级 [ 20 ] ,提出DBI和PCI这两个指数的应用,方便将牙髓系统的钙化程度等级化,有利于比较分析。在对成年恒牙进行DBI评分时,发现单根管前磨牙容易测量,而多根管磨牙则易存在争议。因此在X线片评价者评分训练时,统一定义为磨牙钙化桥的测量是从盖髓剂与牙髓接触的位置起,向根管方向纵向测量,同时也向髓腔方向横向测量,钙化桥的厚度取任何一个方向上的最大值。而多根牙的牙髓钙化指数以钙化最重的根管来评价。DBI反映了与盖髓剂紧邻的牙髓组织的钙化程度,而PCI则反映了根管系统的弥漫性钙化趋势。本研究实验组患牙PCI在牙髓切断后2年内有统计学意义的显著增大,而健康邻牙则基本保持不变,说明本研究中PCI指标设置相对比较合理,可以反映牙髓系统加速钙化的趋势,正常的增龄性变化对其干扰较小。

高质量的钙化桥形成可以更好地封闭髓腔,保护牙髓组织,但临床研究发现活髓保存治疗中钙化桥是否存在并不影响成功率 [ 14 ] 。本研究也观察到44.4%的临床成功的牙髓切断病例并未形成钙化桥。

本研究DBI变化量与PCI变化量有弱的正相关性,这说明牙髓切断后根管系统弥漫性钙化有可能与钙化桥的形成同步发生。PCI的初始值(PCI0)与PCI的变化量呈高度负相关性,即PCI0越高则PCI的变化量越小,这提示根管钙化度较高的患牙,牙髓切断术后钙化加重的趋势反而较弱。但还存在另一种可能性,即这类患牙用本研究提出的PCI来反映根管钙化加重情况,敏感度不足。而PCI0与DBI及其变化量均无相关性,提示根管原始钙化程度对牙髓切断后牙本质桥的形成可能并没有显著性影响。

本研究年龄对根管系统的初始钙化程度是有影响的,年龄大的患者,初始的牙髓钙化指数(PCI0)较年轻人要高,但经牙髓切断后,牙髓钙化的最终程度和变化量则与年龄不相关。这一结果提示,牙髓切断术有可能打扰了成年恒牙根管系统增龄性钙化的自然进程,使钙化沉积的主体从继发牙本质变为第三期牙本质,客观上加速了根管钙化的进程。本研究发现钙化桥的形成率和厚度均可随复查时间延长而增长,牙髓钙化指数也随复查时间延长而增高,常见到远离盖髓剂部位的根管局部影像消失,甚至出现根管影像完全消失的病例,但本研究中这样的病例临床牙髓活力测试均有活力。成年恒牙牙髓切断后髓腔和根管的钙化趋势,可能是牙髓组织自我修复反应,其远期临床疗效有待进一步观察。本研究结果也提示牙髓切断后根管钙化的X线片表现并不宜作为根管治疗的指征。

综上所述,在本研究有限的样本中,MTA和iRoot BP成年恒牙牙髓切断2年临床成功率均达100%,X线根尖片显示部分病例根管系统有钙化加重的趋势,2年后有55.6%的病例形成钙化桥和根管系统较严重的弥漫性钙化。两种盖髓材料牙髓切断后钙化桥形成以及根管系统钙化程度未见有统计学意义的差异。
