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.
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
Aim: The aim of this study was to examine post-operative pain (PP) severity after conventional irrigation and sonic activation methods, with and without laser disinfection in mandibular molar teeth diagnosed with symptomatic apical periodontitis. Methods: In total, 80 patients with symptomatic apical periodontitis were included in this randomized clinical study. There were four different irrigation and disinfection groups. In group 1, conventional irrigation only was applied. In group 2, EDDY (VDW, Munich, Germany), a sonic irrigation activation system, was applied. In groups 3 and 4, irradiation with a 980-nm diode laser was performed, following irrigation with the conventional method (needle irrigation) and EDDY (VDW) irrigation system, respectively. PP was assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS). The patients were instructed to record their PP using this scale 8, 24, 48 hours and 7 days post-procedure, in addition to their analgesic intake. A chi-square test, Fisher's exact chi-square test and Fisher-Freeman-Halton exact test were used to assess qualitative data. Inter-group and intra-group parameters were assessed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and Wilcoxon's test at a significance level of p < 0.05 (for both).
To evaluate the effect of primary non-surgical endodontic therapy on glycaemic control in type 2 diabetic patients with asymptomatic apical periodontitis.After fulfilling the eligibility criteria, patients will be informed about the study and written consent to participate in the study will be acquired from each patient after explaining risks, benefits and alternative treatments.The endodontic treatment for all patients will be performed by a single operator (S.A) following a standardized protocol. The control group will receive no endodontic treatment during the study period. After completion of the study, these patients will be given primary non-surgical endodontic treatment. The patients in control group will be rendered the necessary treatment, if they become symptomatic and/or deny the consent during the course of the study. These patients will be excluded from the study.
The chief aim of root canal treatment is to reduce the microbial content and prevent further recontamination in the canal. Properly cleaned, shaped and obturated teeth will be having fewer chances of treatment failure. Every tooth has variable, complex canal anatomy consisting of ramifications and lateral canal. The instrumentation alone cannot reach all the areas for cleaning. For proper cleaning and removal of all microorganisms, the canal should be irrigated with any biocompatible, lubricant and antimicrobial agent. An irrigant should have a high compatibility factor, with canals, with obturating material and sealer. It should remove all the superficial barriers from canal tubules and allow sealer penetration, which aids in better adhesion and decreases the chances for recontamination. Objectives: This study aims to compare the effect of experimental endodontic irrigant Sapindus mukorossi with 17% EDTA, on the microleakage, sealer penetration and interaction with sodium hypochlorite. Ninety single-rooted teeth will be allocated into 2 experimental groups and a control group of 30 teeth each. The endodontic procedure will be done with protaper files. The sample in group 1 will be irrigated with 3.0% NaOCl after that by 17% EDTA and the sample in group 2 final irrigation will be given with Ethanolic extract of Sapindus mukorossi. After the preparation and final irrigation of all teeth, sterile saline will be used to flush all canals and dried using paper points. Obturation will be done with lateral condensation by gutta-percha. Teeth will be incubated at 37ºc and 100% humidity for 7 days. Varnish will be applied on the root surface except for apical 3mm. The teeth will be sectioned longitudinally and examined at 2 and 5mm from the root apex. The maximum depth of sealer penetration will be measured using a scanning electron microscope and microleakage will be tested through a dye penetration method under a stereomicroscope. Testing of interaction between irrigant and hypochlorite will be done by placing 1ml irrigant with 1 ml sodium hypochlorite in a round bottom test tube and left for 1 week at 37ºc. An independent observer will look for precipitation formation or color changes
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of intraoral cryotherapy on the inflammatory cytokine levels during root canal treatment and postoperative pain intensity and incidence. Mandibular premolar teeth of 30 patients diagnosed with asymptomatic apical periodontitis will be included to the study for this purpose. The experimental protocols consist clinical and laboratory phases. In clinical phase, procedures of cryotherapy and control groups will be applied in 2-visit-root canal treatment. The samples, which were collected during root canal treatment, will be subjected to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis in laboratory. Levels of interleukin and inflammatory destructive enzymes will be determined in collected samples. During the analysis of visual analogue scale scores, the correlation between the changes of the cytokine and proteolytic enzyme levels and presence and intensity of pain will be evaluated.
Inflammation is a common factor of chronic periodontitis and diabetes. However, to date, there is no scientific evidence supporting a causal effect of the inflammation created by apical periodontitis on the onset of insulin resistance and on metabolic derangement in the condition of pre-diabetes or diabetes. A case control study has been designed in order to evaluate serum levels of pro-diabetes inflammation factors in a sample of healthy patients between 25 and 55 years of age, with or without apical periodontitis,before endodontic treatment and at 6 and 12 months post-treatment. The aim of the study is to evaluate any relation between the presence of chronic endodontic lesions and pro-diabetes inflammation factors that can promote the onset of insulin resistance, and whether endodontic treatment can reduce these factors, thus preventing a pro-diabetes status.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of cryotherapy applications on the inflammatory cytokine and collagenase matrix metalloproteinase levels during root canal treatment and postoperative pain intensity and incidence. Mandibular premolar teeth of 60 male patients within the 20-30 years old range, diagnosed with asymptomatic apical periodontitis will be included to the study for this purpose. The experimental protocols consist clinical and laboratory phases. In clinical phase, procedures of cryotherapy and control groups will be applied in 2-visit-root canal treatment. The samples, which were collected during root canal treatment, will be subjected to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis in laboratory. Levels of interleukin and inflammatory destructive enzymes will be determined in collected samples. During the analysis of visual analogue scale scores, the correlation between the changes of the cytokine and proteolytic enzyme levels and presence and intensity of pain will be evaluated.
The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to compare the incidence, intensity and duration of postoperative pain following the removal of root canal obturation materials canals using rotary (ProTaper Universal or Hyflex EDM) or reciprocating file (Reciproc Blue or WaveOne Gold) systems. The null hypothesis tested was that there is no difference in postoperative pain following the retreatment procedure between the four systems used.
