description Endodontic treatment aims to prevent or treat inflammatory and infectious processes involving the pulp and periradicular tissues. The main objective of this research was to clinically and radiographically evaluate the success rate of endodontic treatment and its impact on the quality of life of patients treated at the Dental School Clinic (CEO, in the Portuguese acronym) of the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG). Methods: A retrospective observational clinical study was developed, with data collected through a search in the medical records of Endodontics courses of the CEO/UFCG, interviews, and clinical and radiographic examinations. The sample consisted of patients treated between 2014 and 2023 who had completed endodontic treatment. The study included patients aged 18 or older with available medical record information. Results: The success rate of the endodontic treatments performed by dental students was 97%. The only case of endodontic treatment failure presented compromised healing (kidney disease) and a tooth with pulp necrosis and periapical lesion. The average oral health-related quality of life score was 5.0 points. The most frequent problems were mouth pain, discomfort when eating, and psychological discomfort (embarrassment or tension). Conclusions: The endodontic treatments performed at CEO/UFCG were satisfactory, with a success rate of 97%, and there was little negative impact from the oral disorder.
