Active clinical trials for "Dental Pulp Necrosis"

The present study was conducted to test whether pulp-like tissue can be regenerated in mature teeth with closed apex? And whether the size of the apical diameter affects the success of REPs? And whether Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to quantitatively assess the vitality of the regenerated pulp-like tissue.

The aim of the current study is to compare a newly introduced material which is a combination of triple mix antibiotics paste and anti-hyperlipidemia drug simvastatin, the new material is named 3MIX-TATIN & will be compared to triple antibiotic paste for management of necrotic primary molars by using lesion sterilization and tissue repair LSTR technique.

Comparing the postoperative pain resulting after mechanical instrumentation using Reciproc reciprocating files versus that resulting after using ProTaper Next rotary files in asymptomatic necrotic molars.

To determine microbiology assessment of infected root canal in young permanent teeth, as well as antimicrobial efficiency of different adjuvant treatment modalities including photodynamic therapy (PDT), high-power diode laser, and essential oils following mechanic-chemical treatment in the treatment of periapical periodontitis in these teeth.

This multi-center exploratory clinical trial is a randomized trial designed to test whether a regenerative endodontic procedure using tissue engineering principles (REGENDO), or a revascularization (REVASC) endodontic procedure, in comparison to standard apexification treatment using a mineral trioxide aggregate barrier (apexification; APEX), produces a significantly better composite clinical outcome for the treatment of immature permanent teeth with pulpal necrosis.

Recruited patients with immature permanent maxillary anterior teeth with non-vital pulp, and periapical radiolucency, age ranging from 8 to16 years old were randomly allocated into three groups (n=13): Group I, disinfected using the triple antibiotic paste, Group II, disinfection was done using diode laser, and Group III, were disinfected using the triple antibiotic paste, diode laser was used for biostimulation. All groups were evaluated for the increase in root length and thickness and decrease in apical diameter at baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after treatment

This study was conducted to evaluate Calcium Hydroxide mixed with Gingerols versus Metapex in treatment of primary teeth with infected necrotic pulp

Microorganisms play a critical role in the etiology and pathogenesis of apical periodontitis. Enterococcus faecalis and Candida sp. are frequently associated with persistent infections. The aim of this study was evaluated the antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) as an adjunct of the endodontic treatment. Ten uniradicular teeth [control group (CG)=4 and test group (TG)=6] with primary endodontic infections were analyzed. Microbiological samples were collected before and after the chemical-mechanical instrumentation (CMI), after the aPDT (for the TG) and after the temporary restorations removal (second session).

Trial is designed to allow revascularization and tissue engineering in necrotic teeth with peripical lesion in a single visit approach. different disinfection protocols is used to ensure that adequate disinfection of root canals is achieved to allow stem cells to differentiate and proliferate generating pulp like tissue and turning back tooth to live with periapical healing of resorbed bone.

This is a controlled, randomized, double-blind clinical study (researcher and research participant does not know which group they belong to), with the objective of evaluating clinical and radiographic performances of primary molar canal treatments with necrotic pulps using two obturator pulps. The CTZ paste (composed of chloramphenicol, tetracycline, zinc oxide and eugenol) and the ZOE paste (composed of zinc oxide and eugenol). The CTZ paste represents an alternative treatment that makes possible to treat canals of primary molars in a simplified way, without instrumentation of root canals. Studies with the CTZ pulp have demonstrated satisfactory clinical and radiographic results in addition to biocompatibility and good antimicrobial action. The zinc oxide and eugenol paste has been studied, presents good clinical and radiographic results, it is indicated by the American Academy of Paediatric Dentistry and requires mechanical chemical preparation of the root canals. Children of both sexes, frequenters of the paediatric dentistry clinic of the Federal University of Piaui who present lower deciduous molars with clinical history and / or radiographic evidences of pulp necrosis will participate in the study. The hypothesis of the study is that both pastes present similar clinical and radiographic results.
