Filter by:The aim of the current study is to evaluate and compare clinical and radiographic success and antibacterial effect of Hyaluronic Acid and Amniotic membrane pulpotomy in primary molars in comparison with MTA pulpotomy (Randomized Clinical Trial and In Vitro Study).
The purpose of this study is to develop a protocol for biofilms disinfection with a FDA cleared, clinically approved and commercially available Er,Cr:YSGG laser treatments. This protocol will be testing local single topical application of Lasers within the canal system in patients going through routine endodontic treatment, evaluate its potential as anti-biofilm treatment and compare it to other currently used antibacterial protocols.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess post-operative pain of partial pulpotomy using a newly introduced Bioceramic material in young patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis at 24, 48, 72 hours postoperatively using visual analogue scale (VAS). The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • In patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis does the use of bioceramic material in partial pulpotomy decrease amount of post operative pain in comparison to conventional root canal treatment? Participants will record the intensity of pain at 24,48, 72 hours postoperatively.
A two-tailed randomized controlled trial with two parallel arms is aimed to compare success proportions of the articaine and lidocaine groups in children with irreversible pulpitis under 4 years. The participants will be randomly assigned into two equal groups (82 children per group): the control group will receive lidocaine and the intervention group will receive the articaine local anesthesia. The direct observation tool FLACC was considered to assess pain severity. The behavior was assessed during pulpectomy procedures using the Frankl behavior rating scale (FBRS)
The objective of this study will be to evaluate if photobiomodulation (FBM) can reduce postoperative pain in patients who will undergo endodontic surgery. For this randomized, controlled and double-blind clinical study, 34 patients without comorbidities who need endodontic surgery in the upper jaw (15 to 25 teeth) will be recruited. They will be randomly divided into an experimental group (n = 17) photobiomodulation (808nm, 100 mW, and 4J/cm2 with 5 points per vestibular). Applications will be made in the immediate postoperative period and 24 hours after surgery. Control group (n = 17) a FBM simulation will be performed in the same way as in the experimental group. In this group, the required analgesia will be administered within the standard with ibuprofen. Both groups will perform the necessary conventional procedures considered the gold standard in the literature. Both the patient and the evaluator will be blinded to the intervention performed. The primary outcome variable of the study will be postoperative pain, which will be assessed using the visual analog scale at all postoperative control visits (baseline, 24 hours and 7 days). As for the secondary outcome variables, the amount of systemic medication received according to the patient's need (will be provided by the investigator).. Radiographic images will be obtained after 1 and 2 months for evaluation of the repair (dimensions of the lesion, radiopacity). These radiographs will be taken digitally with the positioners implemented. Edema, ecchymosis, and evaluation of soft tissues in the anterior portion of the intra and extra-oral maxilla will also be evaluated. In addition, a digital thermometer. These parameters will be evaluated 24 hours and 7 days after the intervention. The X-rays will be taken in the 1st and 3rd month respectively.
The study aimed to compare potassium nitrate in polycarboxylate cement to mineral trioxide aggregate as a direct pulp capping material of young permanent teeth in patients from 7 to 10 ears
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the local anesthetic efficacy and safety of 4% Articaine compared 2% Mepivicaine in 3 years old children, by using infiltration technique for primary teeth that required restorative, pulp therapy, or dental extraction procedure, as assessed by measuring the pain experience during injection and treatment procedures, child's behavior during the procedure, and postoperative complications.
The endodontic periodontal-disease is characterized by the involvement of the pulp and periodontal disease in the same tooth. The anatomic connections between the dental pulp and the periodontium provide a pathway for perio-endo communication via apical foramina, lateral canals, exposed dentinal tubules, and developmental grooves. These pathways provide an egress for pulpal disease to affect the periodontium and conversely, an ingress for periodontal disease to affect the pulp. Teeth with endo-perio disease, which are deemed salvageable might require root canal (endodontic) treatment, followed by staged periodontal treatment. Compared to conventional sealers used for endodontic treatment, the hydraulic calcium silicate based sealers (HCSB)s have excellent sealing ability, biocompatibility, regeneration ability, and antimicrobial characteristics. However little is known about its clinical benefits when used to treat endo-perio disease. The gold standard treatment for periodontitis affected teeth associated with intrabony lesions is guided tissue regeneration (GTR) which has significant improved clinical outcomes over open flap debridement (Cochrane systematic review 2005). However, the success the of this regenerative technique requires careful case and defect selection. We propose the use of an autologous bioactive scaffold, leukocyte platelet rich fibrin (L-PRF) to achieve regeneration of periodontal soft and hard tissues, resulting in faster healing, greater bone infill and improved predictability of clinical outcomes
Preserving primary teeth is essential for many aspects such as the child's growth and development, esthetic, functional, psychological, and dental arch integrity aspects. a randomized blinded controlled clinical trial aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of Zinc Oxide-Ozonated Olive Oil as root canal filling materials for primary molars compared to Zinc Oxide-Olive Oil & Zinc Oxide-eugenol. 90 primary molars of 30 children aged between 4-8 years with pulpally involved primary molars, are equally divided into 3 groups which treated with Zinc Oxide-Ozonated Olive Oil , zinc oxide -olive oil and zinc oxide eugenol as obturation materials following pulpectomy procedure. The subjects were followed up clinically and radiographically at 3, 6 and 12 months.
Clinical management of immature non-vital (necrotic) permanent teeth is challenging, due to inherent structural weakness. Earlier management of such teeth relied on the traditional calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) apexification procedure or the application of apical barriers However, neither procedure allows for promoting root dentin maturation. In 2004, a novel management technique for treating immature, non-vital teeth called regenerative endodontic procedures (REP; also known as revascularization) was introduced. This procedure allowed for continued root maturation presented in an increase in root length and dentin wall thickness. The key points of REP include minimal or no instrumentation of the dentinal walls, disinfection with irrigant solutions and intracanal medicaments, provocation of bleeding into the canal space for creation of a blood clot, capping with calcium silicate-based material, and an effective coronal seal to prevent reinfection of the root canal system. Several case reports and clinical studies reported promising results for REP treatment. However, studies widely varied in their treatment methods, hence the search for an optimal REP protocol is still ongoing. A recent review reported that the methodological quality of REP clinical trials available to date, was low with a moderate to high risk of bias. To date, only few studies evaluated the outcome of REPs based on different types of intracanal medicaments. These studies either presented a retrospective design, low sample size and/or short follow up period. Hence, the need for randomized, controlled clinical studies to provide persuasive evidence on the efficacy of different intracanal medicaments in REP is of utmost importance. The aim of this study is to prospectively assess and compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of REP in non-vital immature permanent teeth using an intracanal medicament modified TAP or non-setting Ca(OH)2 paste. Forty-five patients yielding a total of 50 anterior and posterior non-vital immature teeth were randomly divided into 2 groups. REP utilizing either non-setting calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) (n=25) or modified triple antibiotic paste (TAP) (n=25), as intracanal medicaments were performed. NeoMTA Plus was applied for coronal sealing. Cases were followed up clinically and radiographically for 24 months. Survival rate, success rate, and clinical outcome measures were analyzed.
