Filter by:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical results produced by a manual therapy treatment combined with dry needling (MT+DN) and a manual therapy treatment (TM) versus a control (C), to normalize the altered cervico-mandibular variables after a session of root canal therapy.
The aim of this study is to evaluate postoperative pain after endodontic instrumentation using rotation, reciprocation and adaptive motion.
To the best of our knowledge, only two studies are available which have provided a direct comparison between outcome of nonsurgical retreatment and endodontic surgery. The results of the two studies are contradictory in nature. Two systematic reviews conducted to explore the issue also could not draw any definitive conclusions and suggested that further research is necessary to find out effects of surgical versus nonsurgical approach. Considering the very limited amount of data on this pertinent topic, there is apparent need of high quality randomized controlled studies to further investigate the difference in outcome between nonsurgical retreatment and endodontic surgery.
The purpose of this investigation is to assess the use of a novel scaffold (an FDA-approved collagen-hydroxyapatite material called Syn-Oss) for regeneration of pulp tissues versus the use of a traditional scaffold (blood clot).
A randomized, interventional, prospective, unicentric clinical study, 86 patients will be submitted to endodontic treatment of necrotic teeth. 43 patients will complete treatment with obturation with AHPlus cement and Gutta-Percha cones (group A) and 43 patients will complete treatment with PBS® CIMMO cement (single material) (group B). The primary outcome will be the repair of the periradicular lesion demonstrated by integrity of the hard blade throughout the perimeter of the root identified by Tomography Cone Beam, performed after 6 months of treatment. The secondary endpoint will be the absence of fistula after 6 months of treatment identified by clinical examination.
The aim of this study was to perform a clinical and microbiological evaluation of teeth with incomplete apexogenesis and traumatic necrosis that were treated with a revascularization technique, evaluating the microbial reduction after the use a double antibiotic paste. Furthermore, the investigation also aims to identify the presence of Enterococcus faecalis and Porphyromomas gingivalis within the root canal system.
This study is looking into two different ways to perform a root canal treatment. The study will look at differences and compare the two different treatment options over a 2-year period.More specifically, this study evaluates a small "skinny" root canal shape compared to a larger "broad" root canal shape and if this affects the success of the root canal treatment. Both types of treatment are standard of care and aim to treat the infection inside your tooth. When a tooth is infected with bacteria, we can see a dark area on the radiograph around the roots of the infected tooth. If this dark area becomes smaller or goes away completely after root canal treatment and you do not feel any pain or other symptoms, then we know that the treatment was successful and there is no need for further treatment on this tooth. To measure the size of the dark area around the tooth (i.e. volume) before and after the treatment we will need to take two limited volume three-dimensional radiographs (cone beam computed tomography-CBCT), one prior to treatment and one at two years after the root canal treatment is completed. These radiographs are more accurate in detecting changes in lesion size than the regular periapical radiographs. We will assess the changes in lesion volume for all teeth included in the study and that will help us find differences in success between the two root canal treatment protocols, We are specifically looking for persons that have been diagnosed with a necrotic permanent mandibular molar with an evident radiographic lesion (i.e. dark area around the tooth) that can be retained in the mouth with root canal treatment and permanent restoration. This study place participants in different treatment groups after randomization. Randomization means that you are placed by chance (like flipping a coin) into a treatment group. For this study, there are two treatment groups (protocol) and they are listed below. Protocol 1: Group S: Root canal treatment will be performed in 2-visits using hand files and rotary instruments to a final canal shape of size #25. Protocol 2: Group L: Root canal treatment will be performed in 2-visits using hand files and rotary instruments to a final canal shape of size #35
A prospective, literature controlled, clinical study evaluating healing rates for the Sonendo GentleWave System in the treatment of 1st and 2nd molars indicated for root canal therapy.
The purpose of this study is to identify pre-operative factors that put patients at greater risk of developing severe tooth pain following root canal therapy, thereby providing evidence that will allow dentists to act preventively to lessen this risk, improve pain control, increase their patients' quality of life, and decrease the number of dental emergency interactions. A parallel goal of this study is to assess the feasibility of recruiting dentists that provide root canal therapy and patients using the DPBRN.
The purpose of this study is to document by survey the occurence of tooth pain present 3 months and 6 months after root canal therapy in the patients recruited for the DPBRN "Peri-operative tooth pain" study. This study will access the feasibility of obtaining 3 month and 6 month follow-up data on the patient enrolled in the DPBRN "Peri-operative tooth pain" study.
