Filter by:With consideration of the previous studies regarding the properties of i-PRF, it will be used in combination with another bioactive material: (Nano-BAG) versus using of i-PRF only as a pulpotomy material with using a premixed bioceramic putty as a coronal sealing material in both cases, to evaluate if there is a difference in the success rate of pulpotomy in case of using Nano-BAG in combination with i-PRF So, in this study the investigators will use Nano-BAG in combination with i-PRF as a material for pulpotomy in cases of mature permanent mandibular molars and compare its outcomes with using i-PRF only and in both cases pulpotomy material will be covered with a layer of premixed bioceramic putty for coronal sealing.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of two different periapical surgery methods ("curettage+apical resection" and "curettage") on the bone regeneration and clinical healing without applying any material or with applying leukocyte and platelet rich fibrin (L-PRF) to the periradicular intraosseous defect in the treatment of the teeth with large periapical lesions by following the patients for 12 months.
While cross-sectional studies have reported a significant association between diabetes and Apical Periodontics, prospective studies are scarce. This will be the first prospective interventional study to explore the cause-and-effect relation between AP and diabetes by assessment of levels of inflammatory markers in a longitudinal setting. Periapical healing in diabetics and nondiabetics will be compared after root canal treatment to evaluate the role of various physical and metabolic attributes on endodontic outcomes.
Goal of this prospective observational study is determine effect of smoking on periapical healing after NSRCT. Population includes systemically healthy smokers with radiographic evidence of apical periodontitis will be recruited and compared with same type of population of non smokers after non surgical root canal treatment intervention in both the groups. Outcome will be assessed using periapical index scoring system at 6 and 12 months follow up period
The aim of the study is to evaluate the association between apical periodontitis (AP) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) by assessing the multiplicative effect of AP on secondary outcomes of ASCVD. Sixty-two subjects will be enrolled from the Unit of Endodontics and Restorative dentistry and allocated into 2 distinct groups depending on the presence or absence of periapical lesions. Group 1 will be composed of 31 patients with radiographic signs of AP. On the contrary, another 31 healthy individual (free from clinical and radiographic evidence of AP) meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included as controls (group 2) A complete dental examination will performed on each patient in both groups. All the patients will be subjected to a cardiovascular examination to assess carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), presence of abdominal aortic aneurysm, presence of peripheral pulses through echo-color-doppler.
The basic aim of root canal treatment is to reduce the microbial content and prevent further recontamination in the canal. Every tooth has a variable, complex canal anatomy consisting of ramifications, accessory and lateral canals. Instrumentation alone cannot reach all the areas for cleaning.The objectives of this research study is to observe and compare the effect of irrigation with smearOFF , etidronic acid/ hypochlorite and other irrigants on sealer penetration and dentin erosion of root dentin by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX). Hundred extracted premolar teeth is subjected to root canal instrumentation. The endodontic procedure is done with protaper gold files. Initial irrigation is done by 5% sodium hypochlorite. Samples are divided into five groups. Each group consists of twenty single rooted premolars based on final irrigation regimen. There will be four experimental groups which are as follows (1) 17% EDTA (2) SmearOFF 3) Maleic acid (4) HEBP/NaOCL. Whereas, saline will be the control group. After the preparation and final irrigation of all teeth with experimental irrigants, sterile saline is used to flush all canals and dried using paper points. After final irrigation teeth are further divided into two groups (A) Sealer penetration (B) Dentin erosion. In both the groups standardization of root length, cleaning and shaping procedure are the same. For sealer penetration, obturation is done by warm vertical using AH plus sealer. Samples are incubated at 37º Celsius (°C) and 100% humidity for 7 days. The samples are marked and divided into three horizontal section at 2mm, 5mm and 8mm. Using SEM, measure the maximum depth of sealer penetration on each side that is buccal, lingual, mesial and distal and take the mean for each section of sample. For dentin erosion (B) samples are divided sagitally & buccolingually into two halves. The half containing the most visible part of apical area is taken and than examined using EDX. One-Way ANOVA-test will be used to compare mean values of multiple groups. Tukey's post hoc test will be used to determine the group with significance at P≤0.05. Two observers will evaluate the results using kappa statistics.
This clinical study aimed to Compare the levels of Interleukin 8 before and after root canal treatment in patients with apical periodontitis - Diagnosis - Local anesthesia - Isolation and disinfection of the tooth - Two-staged access cavity preparation - Patency of the root canals - First sample collection using paper points - Working length determination - Chemico-mechanical preparation - After 1 week, isolation, Second sample collection then obturation of the root canals and restoration of the tooth. - Samples will be stored in (-80 C) freezer till collection of all samples then, quantification will be done using ELISA.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of cold saline (2.5 degrees Celsius) irrigation on postoperative pain in patients who require root canal treatment in molar teeth because of dead dental pulp and infection around the apex of the root of the involved teeth. This cold saline irrigation will be done after standard irrigation of the canal using a 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is there any difference in postoperative pain when final irrigation is performed using a cold saline solution compared to the irrigation using the saline solution at room temperature in patients who require dental root canal treatment of molar teeth? - Because of cold saline irrigation, what type of adverse event/s may result? Participants will be asked to fill out a questionnaire before the start of the root canal treatment and record the preoperative pain using the visual analog scale (VAS). Root canal treatment will be completed in one visit. The standard procedure of root canal treatment will be followed, including irrigation of the canal using 5.25% sodium hypochlorite. As a final irrigation, either cold saline solution or a normal saline solution at room temperature will be used. The participants will be asked to fill out another questionnaire and record the presence, duration, and intensity of postoperative pain, and if painkiller medicine was taken immediately after completion of root canal treatment and at 6 hours, 12 hours, 72 hours, and 1-week intervals. The researcher will compare the effect of the final irrigation of a cold saline solution with that of a normal saline solution at room temperature on postoperative pain.
the aim of this study is to compare the effect of using Diclofenac Sodium Versus Calcium Hydroxide as Intracanal medication on intensity of postoperative pain, bacterial load reduction after root canal preparation and periapical matrix metalloproteinase 9 level (MMP-9) post-instrumentation and pre-obturation in teeth with necrotic pulp
Regenerative endodontic procedures have been used to successfully treat human mature permanent teeth with necrotic pulps and apical periodontitis. Many researchers have begun to apply regenerative endodontic procedures to mature teeth in adult patients. Several clinical case reports have shown complete resolution of signs and symptoms of pulp necrosis in mature teeth, even those with large periapical lesions, as well as signs of pulp canal obliteration. The aim of this study is to assess the regenerative potential of mature permanent teethwith necrotic pulps after disinfecting the root canal using diode laser andcompare it with dynamic agitation of xp-endo finisher and conventionaltriple antibiotic paste
