Clinical Trial Summary

Investigators observed the clinical and radiographic healing of periapical lesion using Chitosan mixed with calcium hydroxide and compared it with triple antibiotic paste when used as intracanal medicament in 3months, 6 months and 12 months.


Clinical Trial Description

Aim: To evaluate and compare the healing of periapical lesions using chitosan mixed with calcium hydroxide or Triple Antibiotic Paste at 3,6 and 12 months.

Methodology:

20 adult patients having periapical lesions in single rooted teeth were selected in this study after being assessed using the PAI index. Patients were randomly assigned to: Group - I (n=10) Chitosan with Ca (OH)2 and Group -II (n=10) Triple Antibiotic paste (TAP)

After access opening and cleaning and shaping were done in the first visit, the pertinent intracanal medicaments were placed depending on the patient group. After 4 weeks, on the second visit, the medicament was removed andobturation was done in the asymptomatic teeth. Both clinical and radiographic endodontic evaluation was done at 0, 3, 6 and 12months using the same parameters.

Radiographic evaluation was done using the PAI Index and was compared at 0, 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment, Z Test. ;
