Filter by:Study aimed at assessing the clinical and radiographic success of pulp regeneration using injectable platelet-rich fibrin in mature permanent molars with apical periodontitis versus root canal treatment using Gutta Percha (GP) obturation.
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
Inflammatory process begins around root apex as a result of bacterial infection of pulp cavity in chronic apical periodontitis. Bone destruction can begin in apical region after immunological reactions at the end of inflammatory process, and radiolucent periapical lesion seems in this way. If bone destruction around apical region is in the rate of 30%, we can notice this difference eventually. Histological manifestations of periapical inflammation can be observed in the result of pulp necrosis and inflammation around apical region. Mocelular methods can determine the type of therapy in various diseases. Each region and tissue reserve specific host factors. Vast majority of pulpal inflammation was trigerred by microorganisms. Certain bacterial virulence factors may damage host tissue directly, other virulence factors can stimulate prolonged non-specific immune response causing tissue damage. In the last phase of infection, immunopathological destruction of pulp tissue is observed due to humoral response. IL-17 is an important inflammatory cytokine released from T cells of the immune system. TNF-alpha and RANKL are also mediators responsible for bone destruction metabolism. TNF is a cytokine mediating immunologic changes during periodontal disease. TNF induction stimulate secondary mediators taking part as chemotactic cytokines. TNF has two different types; TNF-alpha and TNF-beta. TNF-alpha is a polypeptide cytokine produced by macrophages and monocytes. TNF-alpha stimulates bone resorption . There has been limited researches analyzing GCF, blood and tissue of pulp, dentin-derived fluid and periapical fluid for molecular diagnosis so far. GCF is a fluid derived from gingival groove. This fluid contains a lot of host factors such as anticor, bacterial antigen, protein and cytokines. GCF sampling is a non-invasive method, it can be used to provide diagnostic information in all clinical cases. In this study, we will evaluate the levels of IL-17, TNF-alpha and RANKL in the gingival crevicular fluid of teeth with periapical lesion diagnosed with chronic apical periodontitis. Thus, it will be evaluated whether these markers can be used for diagnosis and follow-up of the disease in teeth with periapical lesions.
a randomized clinical study to compare the effect of using low level laser therapy versus calcium hydroxide intra-canal medication on: - Incidence and intensity of postoperative pain in patients with symptomatic apical periodontitis. - The intensity of postoperative percussion pain in patients with symptomatic apical periodontitis - The total amount of substance P and Interleukin 8 in periapical fluids one week post instrumentation.
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. thevaim of this study is To assess the regenerative potential of mature permanent teeth with necrotic pulps with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and blood clot using radiographic and clinical methods.
This is a Pilot Phase III single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial in patients, aged 18 years and older, presenting with symptoms of apical periodontitis. The overall goal is to assess whether 2% Chlorhexidine (CHX) is superior to Calcium Hydroxide in reducing interappointment pain.
effect of occlusal reduction on post-operative pain is evaluated after single visit root canal treatment in upper and lower molar teeth in patients with sypmtomatic irreversible pulpitis and apical periondontis
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of passive ultrasonic irrigation versus needle irrigation on post-operative pain and healing in patients with permanent posterior teeth with apical periodontitis treated in a single visit.
