In Vivo Assessment of Endodontics Procedures

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

In view of the wide variety of mechanized endodontic instrumentation systems, the ideal would be that the choose of this system based on the anatomical characteristics of the canal and the biological precepts. In teeth with lesions, contaminated dentin should be removed. However, in many systems, the manufacturer's approach disregards the fact that in wider root canal, instruments used in the apical third small diameter (less than 0.40 mm) may not touch the walls at the final apical. Therefore, the establishment of the initial apical file (LAI), the first instrument that measures the resistance of the walls in working length, could be a criterion in the choice of which system to use, and how many files work within the root canals after LAI determination. However, there is a lack of studies that demonstrate that LAI determination affects the degree of cleaning achieved, as well as the impact that LAI-based instrumentation may have on microcracks formation, canal transportation, postoperative pain and quality of obturation.In this way, the investigators propose a study in vivo performed, in patients from 8 to 18 years of age, therefore in large root canals. The protocol recommended by the manufacturer will be compared by means of a prospective randomized clinical trial, with the addition of the XP Endo finisher and with the protocol based on the initial apical file evaluating postoperative pain, exacerbation between the sessions, the quality of the obturation and periapical radiolucency repair. Considering that currently performing endodontic treatments using mechanized instruments is taught in undergraduate courses throughout the country, studies of this nature help the execution of a endodontics more critical and effective.

Clinical Trial Description

Infected root canal treatments will be performed in two sessions with a TF Adaptive system (Protocol recommended by manufacturer (Group Control) vs. Protocol based on the initial apical file). The root canals will be completed after 14 days. Patients will record postoperative pain during the follow-up period (7 days) using a Visual analogue scale (VAS) and the change in periapical radiolucency will be assessed by periapical index (PAI) scores. ;

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.
