Active clinical trials for "Dental Pulp Necrosis"

The purpose of the investigators study is to characterize the composition of the hard and soft tissues present in root canals of teeth previously diagnosed with necrotic pulps and incomplete root formation and treated with a triple antibiotic regeneration protocol. The investigators hypothesis is that treatment of teeth with necrotic pulps and immature apices with triple antibiotic paste will stimulate continued root formation by the deposition of dentin at the root apices. The primary outcome measure will be histological identification of mineralized tissue and adherent cells in the apical third of these teeth.

Both methods tested in this study disinfect the non-vital root canals and induce blood clot formation inside the root canal. One method places calcium hydroxide inside the root canal after disinfection and the blood clot is induced four weeks later. The other method performs disinfection and induction of blood clot in one appointment. The investigators hypothesize that both methods will obtain the same success rate in eliminating infection, increase in root length and canal walls thickness.

3D volume assessment was done to evaluate the periapical healing following REPs in mature teeth.

This study compared the efficiency of pulp revascularization and MTA apexification in the treatment of patients with necrotic immature anterior teeth.

Non-surgical root canal therapy (RCT) represents a standard of treatment that addresses infected pulp tissue in teeth and protects against future infection while preserving the tooth for the patient for mainly cosmetic purposes. RCT is offered as the better cosmetic, cheaper, and less time intensive treatment option for a patient compared to those of dental implantation. Dental implantation is the alternative to RCT, and they are both originally offered at the time of the initial consultation. RCT involves non-surgically removing dental pulp comprising blood vessels and nerve tissue, decontaminating residually infected tissue, and using a filler material to replace the non-surgically created space where the pulp was removed. Currently, standard of care treatment for RCT utilizes gutta-percha as the root canal filling material. Our research group has previously demonstrated NDGP's improvement in tensile strength compared to those of gutta-percha. This research studies a new type of filler, gutta-percha modified by the addition of nanodiamond material (NDGP). This is an equivalence study of NDGP and standard gutta-percha administration.

The aim of this prospective, randomized, clinical trial was to evaluate the effect of 1.3% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) concentration versus 5.25% NaOCl concentration on post-operative pain and medication intake in adult patients with pulp necrosis in mandibular molars.

Propolis is a resinous product of honeybees. Propolis is said to be effective against resistant microorganisms inside the root canal compared to the gold standard medication known as calcium hydroxide. The clinical trial tests the effect of propolis versus calcium hydroxide on pain in patients with necrotic teeth.

The purpose of this study is to to compare root canal therapy success between two root canal filler materials: 1) gutta percha (GP), 2) gutta percha modified with nanodiamonds and amoxicillin (NDGX). Gutta percha is the current standard root canal filler material used during non-surgical root canal therapy (RCT). Gutta percha modified with nanodiamonds and amoxicillin is an investigational root canal filler material, not yet FDA approved for use as described in this study. The safety and usefulness of NDGX is being tested in this study in comparison to the current standard of care, gutta percha (GP).

Type of study: Randomised Clinical trial To compare the effectiveness of Mechanical and Chemomechanical methods in the removal of Water-based Calcium hydroxide medicament from endodontic system. Participants allocated in group A and B should be appointed for Endodontic treatment of Single rooted teeth diagnosed with Necrotic Pulp and Chronic Apical Periodontitis. In group A, Calcium hydroxide medicament will be removed by using Mechanical method while in group B, Calcium hydroxide will be removed by using Chemomechanical method.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the action of the chlorexidine as intracanal medicament in the reduction of the levels of bacteria inside root canals of primary molar teeth with pulpal necrosis.
