Effect of Photobiomodulation to Reduce Post-operative Pain After Endodontic Surgery

PhotobiomodulationEndodontic Disease3 more

The objective of this study will be to evaluate if photobiomodulation (FBM) can reduce postoperative pain in patients who will undergo endodontic surgery. For this randomized, controlled and double-blind clinical study, 34 patients without comorbidities who need endodontic surgery in the upper jaw (15 to 25 teeth) will be recruited. They will be randomly divided into an experimental group (n = 17) photobiomodulation (808nm, 100 mW, and 4J/cm2 with 5 points per vestibular). Applications will be made in the immediate postoperative period and 24 hours after surgery. Control group (n = 17) a FBM simulation will be performed in the same way as in the experimental group. In this group, the required analgesia will be administered within the standard with ibuprofen. Both groups will perform the necessary conventional procedures considered the gold standard in the literature. Both the patient and the evaluator will be blinded to the intervention performed. The primary outcome variable of the study will be postoperative pain, which will be assessed using the visual analog scale at all postoperative control visits (baseline, 24 hours and 7 days). As for the secondary outcome variables, the amount of systemic medication received according to the patient's need (will be provided by the investigator).. Radiographic images will be obtained after 1 and 2 months for evaluation of the repair (dimensions of the lesion, radiopacity). These radiographs will be taken digitally with the positioners implemented. Edema, ecchymosis, and evaluation of soft tissues in the anterior portion of the intra and extra-oral maxilla will also be evaluated. In addition, a digital thermometer. These parameters will be evaluated 24 hours and 7 days after the intervention. The X-rays will be taken in the 1st and 3rd month respectively.

Patients' Experiences During Endodontic Treatments Performed by Hospital Externs at the CHRU of...

Endodontic Disease

Root canal treatment (RCT) consists in eliminating infected and / or inflammatory tissues inside the root canal system of the tooth by a chemo-mechanical preparation and then filling the latter in a three-dimensional, bacteriostatic and durable way to allow healing. This treatment is commonly carried out and can sometimes be long and tedious, as for example on molars with several roots. According to numerous studies, patients consider endodontic treatments as one of the most stress-inducing dental procedures. Another study also reports satisfaction during root canal treatment in public health service. There is a paucity in literature about patients'experience of endodontic treatment when they are carried out by dental students. The main objective of this study is to investigate patients' experience of root canal treatment in Brest dental university hospital through a qualitative methodology, with individual interviews, a verbatim transcription, followed by a qualitative analysis . This type of research can enable us to keep a broad approach of patients' experience and to stay faithful to it.

Pulpotomy Versus Pulpectomy in Vital Primary Incisors

Dental CariesPulp Disease1 more

The aim of this split mouth randomized controlled study was to compare formocresol pulpotomy and zinc-oxide and eugenol pulpectomy in the treatment of vital pulp exposure in primary incisor. 39 Contralateral pairs of incisors were randomly assigned to receive pulpotomy or pulpectomy in children aged from 18 to 66 months old. Clinical and radiographical evaluations were performed at 6 and 12 months

Microbial Load After Apical Enlargement in Asymptomatic Teeth With Periapical Lesion

Root Canal InfectionPeriapical Diseases2 more

The goal of this observational study is to define the role of apical shaping and irrigation activation on root canal cleanliness. The main questions it aims to answer are: does the effectiveness of irrigation activation depends on apical shaping? can a similar success be achieved by increasing apical shaping without irrigation activation Participants will [describe the main tasks participants will be asked to do, treatments they'll be given and use bullets if it is more than 2 items].

Comparison of Antibacterial Efficacy of Three Final Irrigants

Endodontic DiseaseRoot Canal Infection

This study was conducted to determine the antibacterial affect of three different solutions used as final irrigant during endodontic therapy. The investigator's objective was to compare the antibacterial affect of relatively new final irrigant QMix with EDTA and Qmix with EDTA+CHX by evaluating the bacteriological status of the root canal before and after use of the final irrigant.

Photodynamic Therapy in Endodontic Treatment

Endodontic Disease

This randomized clinical trial evaluated the effectiveness of supplemental photodynamic therapy (PDT) in optimizing the removal of bacteria and endotoxins from primarily infected root canals after one-visit and two-visit treatments.Twenty-four primarily infected root canals with apical periodontitis were selected and randomly divided into one-visit (n=12) and two-visit treatments (n=12). Chemo-mechanical preparation (CMP) was performed by using the single-file reciprocating technique + 2.5% NaOCL and a final rinse with 17% Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). The photosensitizer agent (methylene blue 10 mg/mL) was applied to root canals for 60 seconds and submitted to laser with a potency of 60 milliwatts (mW) and energy density of 129 J/cm2 for 120 seconds after CMP in the one-visit treatment and after 14-day inter-appointment medication with Ca(OH)2 + saline solution (SSL) in the two-visit treatment. Samples were collected before and after root canal procedures. Endotoxins were quantified by chromogenic limulus amebocyte lysate assay. Culture techniques were used to determine bacterial colony-forming unit counts.

Evaluation of Antimicrobial Efficacy and Adaptability of Bioceramic Sealer Containing Nanoparticles...

Endodontic Disease

Successful endodontic treatment depends primarily on the elimination of infecting microorganisms. This is done by chemo-mechanical preparation of root canals, which is not enough and microorganisms might still survive. Thus, from the main requirements of sealers is to have antibacterial properties and adaptability. Those requirements are needed to kill persisting bacteria after obturation and provide effective seal. Therefore, nanosilver and chitosan inserted to BC sealer and so the antibacterial activity will be assessed on E. faecalis using direct contact test after the setting of the sealer, and the results will be reported using percentage reduction of the colony forming units. Besides, adaptability will be assessed using scanning electron microscope.

Intentional Pulpotomy to Preserve Hopeless Molars

PulpitisDental Pulp Diseases1 more

When proximal carious lesions of primary molars are located in close proximity to the cementum enamel junction (CEJ), marginal seal is challenging and extraction is recommended. Pulpotomy is indicated for vital primary teeth to preserve them in function. The goal of this study is to monitor the long-term effect of intentional bioactive cement pulpotomies and crown coverage performed on vital and asymptomatic carious primary molars with gingival margins close to or at the CEJ
