Active clinical trials for "Dental Pulp Necrosis"

the object of this study is to evaluate clinically and radiographically the effect of using Biodentine and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate as coronal plug materials in revascularization of non-vital immature teeth

In this clinical trial, the researchers will investigate the effect of single-file reciprocating file system (Reciproc) versus multi-file rotational file systems (ProTaper Next) on the postoperative pain in adult patients who have necrotic pulp and apical periodontitis. The participants will be assigned by chance to separate groups that compare 2 different treatments, reciprocating single-file system (Reciproc) and rotational multi-file system (ProTaper Next).

Pulp necrosis is one of the main complication of dental trauma. When it happens on an immature tooth, pulp necrosis implies a lack of root maturation and apical closure. A therapy called apexification is required to induce the formation of a calcified apical barrier allowing a permanent and hermetic root filling.The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of a new apexification method using Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA®) with the reference treatment based on calcium hydroxide repeated stimulations.

The aim of this study is to assess in vivo the efficacy of Er,Cr:YSGG/diode laser and Diode/EDTA on post operative pain and bacterial count in root canal treatment in an evidence-based clinical trial. The null hypothesis being tested is that there is no difference in post operative pain and total bacterial count reduction between conventional irrigation and the two types of lasers used. Thirty patients are equally divided into 3 separate groups : Group A (Conventional): 2.5% NaOCL and 17% EDTA. Group B(Dual): saline along with Er,Cr:YSGG laser and diode laser combination Group C(Combined): saline along with 17% EDTA and diode laser combination Each patient is given pain scale chart Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) to record his/her pain level before any endodontic treatment. Microbiological analysis will be done for both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria using Colony forming units. All data will be collected, tabulated, summarized, and statistically analyzed.

The aim of this prospective, randomized, controlled double-blind study is to evaluate the effectiveness of biodentine compared with MTA used as pulp space barrier on discoloration of teeth after regenerative based non-obturation root canal treatment in mature single canal with pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the use of apical matrix, with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) or calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 Apexification on apical healing and calcific barrier formation of immature teeth with non- vital pulp.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of Mesenchymal Stromal Cell (MSC) implantation on pulp and periapical regeneration of immature teeth with pulp necrosis and chronic apical periodontitis. BACKGROUND: Post-traumatic pulp necrosis prevents root development in children and adolescents. The multipotent ability of MSC to differentiate into bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) and dentin-forming cells (Odontoblast) has allowed the development of protocols to induce dental pulp regeneration in preclinical models and patients with immature teeth with pulpal necrosis. IMPACT: Worldwide, post-traumatic pulp necrosis in children and adolescents constitutes a health problem in the endodontic area. Treatment with MSC would provide an effective therapeutic alternative to patients with pulp necrosis and incomplete root formation. The possible pulp and periapical regeneration of immature teeth induced by MSC would have a huge impact on the treatment of these patients. Eligibility for EMC implant study Age: 6 to 16 years Sex: Male or Female Healthy volunteers accepted: NO. TREATMENT GROUPS: In the present study, the implantation of MSC will be performed in patients with immature teeth with pulpal necrosis with apical periodontitis, who will receive the appropriate endodontic treatment (according to the guidelines of the American Association of Endodontics) and implantation of allogeneic BM-MSC . This group will be compared with the history made in the Postgraduate Endodontics of the Universidad Central de Venezuela (UCV) and with international case series made by revascularization. Clinical follow-up of each patient: Clinical controls (facial evaluation, gingival evaluation, apical palpation, horizontal and vertical percussion, cold and heat sensitivity tests) will be carried out on days 0, 7, 30, 90, 180 and 364. Additionally, a clinical evaluation will be carried out at the two years post-implantation of MSC. Radiological controls will be carried out on days 0, 7, 30, 90, 180 and 364. Additionally, they will be carried out two years post-implantation of MSC. A tomographic evaluation will be performed when was evident periapical repair in a periapical radiograph. To measure root formation, root canal narrowing and verification the periapical repair in 3D.

The aim of the present study is to assess clinically and radio-graphically the regenerative potential of immature permanent teeth with necrotic pulp using blood clot and Platelet rich fibrin scaffolds.

Children often damage their front teeth. In approximately 6% of cases, the nerve inside the affected tooth dies (becomes 'non-vital') and natural root development stops. In these cases, the tooth requires a root canal treatment in order to prevent problems such as pain and dental abscesses from arising. However, because the roots of these young teeth are not fully formed, they are weaker and prone to fracture. In addition, root canal treatment is difficult because a root canal filling cannot be placed in a tooth which is not yet fully formed, due to the fact that the root has an 'open' end. To enable root canal treatment to be carried out, a 'barrier' must be placed at the end of the 'open' root. This can be done using materials called Calcium Hydroxide or Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA). These materials are placed inside the root and sealed into the tooth. However, although they help to provide a barrier, they do not help to strengthen the walls of the root. Treatment with these materials requires multiple visits to the dentist, over a period of up to 18 months. There is evidence to suggest that an alternative treatment involving 'revascularisation' (recovery of the blood supply to the tooth) and the use of a triple antibiotic paste allows 'natural' root growth to restart, and also strengthens the walls of the root. Treatment can often be carried out in just two visits. The aim of this study is to discover whether there is a difference between one of two methods of treating non-vital teeth with open ends. It is thought that there will be no significant differences seen between the results of the two techniques. Children with teeth that fall into this category and require root canal treatment will be given one of two treatments, both of which aim to treat infection, close the root end and to allow healing to take place. Teeth will receive one of the following methods of root treatment: Revascularisation (recovery of the natural blood supply to the tooth) following placement of an antibiotic paste into the tooth root. The aim of this treatment is to allow 'natural' root growth to restart. Root growth will allow the tooth to form at barrier at the end of the root. No root canal filling will then be necessary. Closure of the open root end by placement of an artificial barrier at the end of the root so that a root canal filling can then be placed. This will be done with a dental material called Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA). Non-vital teeth with an open end are routinely treated in this way at Liverpool Dental Hospital.

The purpose of this study is to determine the treatment outcomes in permanent teeth with necrotic pulp and immature root development that undergo a regenerative procedure using a triple antibiotic paste (ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, minocycline) versus a double antibiotic paste (ciprofloxacin, metronidazole)compared to the commonly used mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apexification treatment.
