Table 5 Multivariate logistic Regression for the association of the dependent variable "apical periodontitis" with a number of explanatory variables (coronal restoration quality, coronal restoration type, gingival status, CL II cavity design, root canal filling quality)

From: Prevalence and risk factors of Apical periodontitis in endodontically treated teeth: cross-sectional study in an Adult Moroccan subpopulation

 Temporary or absent 20 (90.9%) 1   
 Filling inserted during plastic phase 169 (76.3%) 0.36 0.06–1.97 0.24
 Full coverage crown 69 (81.2%) 0.79 0.13–4.83 0.80
Gingival status

Root canal filling quality
 Under and over-filling 218 (60.8%) 1.93 1.24–3.01 0.004
 Inadequate homogeneity 247 (69%) 2.50 1.41–4.44 0.002
 Inadequate conicity 251 (70.1%) 1.57 0.87–2.81 0.12
