Effect of Calcium Silicate Based Root Canal Medicament on Inflammatory Mediators

Periapical; Infection Clinical Trial

Official title: EFFECT OF CALCIUM SILICATE-BASED ROOT CANAL MEDICAMENT ON RELEASE OF BONE RESORPTION AND INFLAMMATION MEDIATORS IN PERIAPICAL LESIONS: A RANDOMISED CONTROLLED CLINICAL TRIAL

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Calcium hydroxide is generally preferred in endodontics as an intracanal medicament because of its antimicrobial and biological effects. However, the antimicrobial effect of calcium hydroxide is limited.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of calcium silicate-based root canal medicament on the release of RANKL/OPG, TNF-α, PGE-2 and TGF-β1 in root canal treated teeth with periapical lesions.

Clinical Trial Description

Sixty patients were randomly divided into two groups using a web program according to the medication selected: Calcium silicate based root canal medicament or calcium hydroxide based root canal medicament.

After removing gutta-percha from the root canals, RANKL/OPG, TNF-α, PGE-2 and TGF- β1 samples were taken from the interstitial fluid of the apical tissues using three paper points.

At the second appointment, medicaments were removed and second sampling was performed using the same method. RANKL/OPG, TNF-α, PGE-2 and TGF- β1 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and their ratios were calculated. ;
