Filter by:The study design is a randomized controlled trial and up to 120 teeth, 50 in each of the 2 groups, will be enrolled from the patients at the National University Centre for Oral Health Singapore (NUCOHS) Endodontic unit. The primary aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of selective caries removal (SCR) and pulpotomy in preventing pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis in teeth with deep dental caries radiographically extending at least 2/3 into the width of dentine, over a review period of 6 months, 1, 3, and 5 years. The secondary aim of this study is to compare the costs (tangible i.e. restorative treatment costs, and intangible i.e. number of treatment visits and time spent at clinic to complete treatment) and tooth survival in the oral cavity, between teeth treated with SCR and pulpotomy.
Introduction: osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a potentially crippling disorder, which mainly affects the young adults. Core decompression has been used for the treatment of the osteonecrosis of the femur head since was published by Ficat and albert, and by HUNGERFORD and Lennox. hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a suggestive joint preserving treatment for symptomatic prolapse stage of osteonecrosis of the femur head. Aims and objectives: to compare the clinical (functional) outcome of core decompression versus hyperbaric oxygen therapy in pre collapse stages of idiopathic avascular necrosis of the femur head. Material and methods: Mixed Retrospective and prospective study for all case of pre collapse of avascular necrosis of femoral head(AVNHF) underwent either hyperbaric oxygen therapy or Core decompression augmented with bone substitute in HAMAD General Hospital Anticipated outcome: Hyperbaric oxygen treatment associated with better outcomes at preserving the joint and associated with less complications than surgery
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of tactile sense, digital periapical radiograph and two different varieties of electronic apex locators at working length determination in primary molars. A total of 30 infected mandibular primary second molar teeth in twelve children aged between 5 and 8 years were included in this study. Working length determination was performed using tactile sense, radiographic method and two different varieties of electronic apex locators (ProPex Pixi® and Ipex®) separately.

Globally, breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in women and is the second leading cause of cancer death , representing 15% of worldwide deaths per year . In Egypt, it accounts for 32 % of cancer in women with a high mortality rate.
Earlier, it was believed that successful regeneration cannot be achieved once tooth has become infected. However, recent studies suggest that regenerative endodontics may in fact be possible in teeth with pulpal necrosis and periapical pathology. The primary goal in regenerative procedure is to eliminate clinical symptoms and resolve apical periodontitis. The blood clot acts as a scaffold, and the growth factors inside recruit stem cells, most likely from periapical papilla. But unfortunately, the erythrocytes in the clot of the blood column undergo necrosis, affecting its properties so the blood column is augmented by the use of different types of scaffolds. Platelet-rich fibrin is classified into four types (Standard PRF, Injectable PRF, Advanced PRF and Concentrated Growth Factor CGF) according to speed and time of centrifuge with the overall aim to increase the number of platelets and leucocytes
The primary aim of the study is to compare the outcome of one vs two visits endodontics (root canal treatments) performed in general dental practice of infected (necrotic) teeth, one and four years after treatment. Secondary aims are to compare the root filling quality and the frequency of complications for both treatment modalities. A pilot study will identify the shortcomings of the protocol, which will be revised accordingly. A multi-center study in several clinics from five counties throughout Sweden is planned. Consecutive eligible patients (see inclusion and exclusion criteria) with one tooth each will be included. The study sample size calculation was based on a judgement that a minimal worthwhile effect of less than 10% was not clinically relevant. The presumption was that successful outcomes would be of 75% and 65% for the different treatment arms, respectively. Three hundred and fifty six patients per group are thus needed to detect that difference as statistical significant with a power of 80% and an alfa-error of 5%. To compensate for around 30% drop-outs a number of 1000 patients will be recruited. Patients will be randomly enrolled in two arms: one in which the endodontic treatment (root canal treatment) is performed in one visit, and in the other arm in two visits. The allocation sequences for one vs multiple visit endodontics will be computer generated followed by a dark colored envelope concealed allocation. The patients will be contacted by telephone 5-7 days post-operatively, and a control visit at the clinic will be scheduled one month post-operatively to assess complications related to the treatment. A clinical control will be performed at the clinic one and four years after treatment. Intra-oral radiographs will be taken. The radiographs will be examined by two blinded and independent observers. A successful outcome is defined by clinical and radiographic normalcy. The statistical methods selected to analyse the primary outcome will be the Chi square test of 2x2 tables, or Fisher´s exact test when proportions are small and the expected value <5. The calculations will be two-tailed. Results will be considered statistically significant at p<0.05.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of Mesenchymal Stromal Cell (MSC) implantation on pulp and periapical regeneration of immature teeth with pulp necrosis and chronic apical periodontitis. BACKGROUND: - Post-traumatic pulp necrosis prevents root development in children and adolescents. - The multipotent ability of MSC to differentiate into bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) and dentin-forming cells (Odontoblast) has allowed the development of protocols to induce dental pulp regeneration in preclinical models and patients with immature teeth with pulpal necrosis. IMPACT: - Worldwide, post-traumatic pulp necrosis in children and adolescents constitutes a health problem in the endodontic area. - Treatment with MSC would provide an effective therapeutic alternative to patients with pulp necrosis and incomplete root formation. - The possible pulp and periapical regeneration of immature teeth induced by MSC would have a huge impact on the treatment of these patients. Eligibility for EMC implant study Age: 6 to 16 years Sex: Male or Female Healthy volunteers accepted: NO. TREATMENT GROUPS: In the present study, the implantation of MSC will be performed in patients with immature teeth with pulpal necrosis with apical periodontitis, who will receive the appropriate endodontic treatment (according to the guidelines of the American Association of Endodontics) and implantation of allogeneic BM-MSC . This group will be compared with the history made in the Postgraduate Endodontics of the Universidad Central de Venezuela (UCV) and with international case series made by revascularization. Clinical follow-up of each patient: 1. Clinical controls (facial evaluation, gingival evaluation, apical palpation, horizontal and vertical percussion, cold and heat sensitivity tests) will be carried out on days 0, 7, 30, 90, 180 and 364. Additionally, a clinical evaluation will be carried out at the two years post-implantation of MSC. 2. Radiological controls will be carried out on days 0, 7, 30, 90, 180 and 364. Additionally, they will be carried out two years post-implantation of MSC. 3. A tomographic evaluation will be performed when was evident periapical repair in a periapical radiograph. To measure root formation, root canal narrowing and verification the periapical repair in 3D.
Gangrenous cholecystitis is the most common complication of acute cholecystitis. Preliminary data showed that COVID-19 patients have a high risk to present necrotic cholecystitis. The Cholecystitis under COVID-19 pandemic WSES (ChoCO-W) study aims to investigate risk factors and high-risk patients to develop necrotic cholecystitis during this pandemic and their management.
Aim of the study is to assess canal disinfection using matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) in single visit and multiple visit regeneration protocols, and to assess clinical and radiographic outcomes of single visit and multiple visit regeneration protocols.
