Clinical Trial Summary

Apical lesions usually present clinically as a chronic infection, remaining as asymptomatic apical periodontitis(AAP). Because the balance among inflammation and bacteria is a dynamic process, AAP may undergo an acute exacerbation and become symptomatic, presenting as symptomatic apical periodontitis or acute abscess, or it may evolve from the acute to the chronic stage. Identification of specific biomarker could help in establishing more accurate diagnosis. Biological marker serves as a parameter that is indicative of underlying physiology and health of the tissue. It is measurable as well as quantifiable. The aim of this study: To assess the level of potential biomarkers in asymptomatic and symptomatic apical Periodontitis, and to determine the prediction potential of the same biomarkers for the outcome of endodontic treatment after 1year recall…

Clinical Trial Description

Participants will be selected from patients attending the Restorative and Aesthetic Department in the College of Dentistry University of Baghdad. Consent form will be assigned with all participants prior to the study to take their agreement for participation. Also case sheet including all diagnostic procedures will be prepared and used with all cases. The involved tooth should not have more than 3 surfaces affected with caries including mesioocclusal(M0), distoocclusal(DO) or mesio occlusodistal( MOD). Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) will be taken for the accused teeth. Gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) samples will be collected from the gingival sulcus of the test and healthy teeth within the same participant. The GCF samples will be centrifuged at 400-500 g for 4-5 min and Concentrations of Matrix metaloproteinases(MMP8), Tissue inhibitor(TIMP1),receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B(RANK), RANK ligand(RANKL) andosteoprotegerin( OPG) will be determined using ELISA test. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
