Filter by:In this clinical trial, the researchers will investigate the effect of single-file reciprocating file system (Reciproc) versus multi-file rotational file systems (ProTaper Next) on the postoperative pain in adult patients who have necrotic pulp and apical periodontitis. The participants will be assigned by chance to separate groups that compare 2 different treatments, reciprocating single-file system (Reciproc) and rotational multi-file system (ProTaper Next).
Microorganisms play a critical role in the etiology and pathogenesis of apical periodontitis. Enterococcus faecalis and Candida sp. are frequently associated with persistent infections. The aim of this study was evaluated the antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) as an adjunct of the endodontic treatment. Ten uniradicular teeth [control group (CG)=4 and test group (TG)=6] with primary endodontic infections were analyzed. Microbiological samples were collected before and after the chemical-mechanical instrumentation (CMI), after the aPDT (for the TG) and after the temporary restorations removal (second session).
The aim of the current study is to compare a newly introduced material which is a combination of triple mix antibiotics paste and anti-hyperlipidemia drug simvastatin, the new material is named 3MIX-TATIN & will be compared to triple antibiotic paste for management of necrotic primary molars by using lesion sterilization and tissue repair LSTR technique.
This study compared the efficiency of pulp revascularization and MTA apexification in the treatment of patients with necrotic immature anterior teeth.
Comparing the postoperative pain resulting after mechanical instrumentation using Reciproc reciprocating files versus that resulting after using ProTaper Next rotary files in asymptomatic necrotic molars.
In this study, the researchers will investigate the effect of single-file reciprocating versus single-file rotational file systems on the postoperative pain in adult patients who have necrotic pulp and apical periodontitis. The participants will be assigned by chance to separate groups that compare 2 different treatments, reciprocating single-file system (Reciproc Blue) and rotational single-file system (OneShape). As a reference, Mtwo multi-file (full-sequence) will be used.
Non-surgical root canal therapy (RCT) represents a standard of treatment that addresses infected pulp tissue in teeth and protects against future infection while preserving the tooth for the patient for mainly cosmetic purposes. RCT is offered as the better cosmetic, cheaper, and less time intensive treatment option for a patient compared to those of dental implantation. Dental implantation is the alternative to RCT, and they are both originally offered at the time of the initial consultation. RCT involves non-surgically removing dental pulp comprising blood vessels and nerve tissue, decontaminating residually infected tissue, and using a filler material to replace the non-surgically created space where the pulp was removed. Currently, standard of care treatment for RCT utilizes gutta-percha as the root canal filling material. Our research group has previously demonstrated NDGP's improvement in tensile strength compared to those of gutta-percha. This research studies a new type of filler, gutta-percha modified by the addition of nanodiamond material (NDGP). This is an equivalence study of NDGP and standard gutta-percha administration.
This multi-center exploratory clinical trial is a randomized trial designed to test whether a regenerative endodontic procedure using tissue engineering principles (REGENDO), or a revascularization (REVASC) endodontic procedure, in comparison to standard apexification treatment using a mineral trioxide aggregate barrier (apexification; APEX), produces a significantly better composite clinical outcome for the treatment of immature permanent teeth with pulpal necrosis.
Both methods tested in this study disinfect the non-vital root canals and induce blood clot formation inside the root canal. One method places calcium hydroxide inside the root canal after disinfection and the blood clot is induced four weeks later. The other method performs disinfection and induction of blood clot in one appointment. The investigators hypothesize that both methods will obtain the same success rate in eliminating infection, increase in root length and canal walls thickness.
Children often damage their front teeth. In approximately 6% of cases, the nerve inside the affected tooth dies (becomes 'non-vital') and natural root development stops. In these cases, the tooth requires a root canal treatment in order to prevent problems such as pain and dental abscesses from arising. However, because the roots of these young teeth are not fully formed, they are weaker and prone to fracture. In addition, root canal treatment is difficult because a root canal filling cannot be placed in a tooth which is not yet fully formed, due to the fact that the root has an 'open' end. To enable root canal treatment to be carried out, a 'barrier' must be placed at the end of the 'open' root. This can be done using materials called Calcium Hydroxide or Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA). These materials are placed inside the root and sealed into the tooth. However, although they help to provide a barrier, they do not help to strengthen the walls of the root. Treatment with these materials requires multiple visits to the dentist, over a period of up to 18 months. There is evidence to suggest that an alternative treatment involving 'revascularisation' (recovery of the blood supply to the tooth) and the use of a triple antibiotic paste allows 'natural' root growth to restart, and also strengthens the walls of the root. Treatment can often be carried out in just two visits. The aim of this study is to discover whether there is a difference between one of two methods of treating non-vital teeth with open ends. It is thought that there will be no significant differences seen between the results of the two techniques. Children with teeth that fall into this category and require root canal treatment will be given one of two treatments, both of which aim to treat infection, close the root end and to allow healing to take place. Teeth will receive one of the following methods of root treatment: 1. Revascularisation (recovery of the natural blood supply to the tooth) following placement of an antibiotic paste into the tooth root. The aim of this treatment is to allow 'natural' root growth to restart. Root growth will allow the tooth to form at barrier at the end of the root. No root canal filling will then be necessary. 2. Closure of the open root end by placement of an artificial barrier at the end of the root so that a root canal filling can then be placed. This will be done with a dental material called Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA). Non-vital teeth with an open end are routinely treated in this way at Liverpool Dental Hospital.
