Active clinical trials for "Tooth, Nonvital"

First, participants will undergo clinical and radiographic examination for taking all the needed preoperative records, then endodontically treated teeth preparation starting with removal of any carious or undermined tooth structure then ferrule preparation then followed by intra-radicular preparation and then placement of the provisional restoration. In the third visit we will take the final impression of the post space for each patient by using the intraoral scan and extraoral scan o f the conventional impression. Then assessment of the apical gap length by using digital periapical radiograph using the paralleling technique and assessment of post adaptation using replica technique followed by placement and permanent cementation of the zirconia custom made post and core restoration that showed less apical gap length and better adaptation then taking the final impression for the extracoronal restoration and finally permanent cementation of the extra coronal fixed restoration.

It has been demonstrated that a great amount of tooth structure is lost during the prosthetic preparations of abutments for full-coverage FDPs with tooth substance removal of 63% of 73%, this aggressive loss of tooth structure usually accompanied with pain and post-operative sensitivity. In comparison with the vertical preparation technique, there is less amount of tooth substance loss. this clinical study will provide benefits for practitioners and clinicians by guiding them to choose a more conservative treatment plan with the better marginal fit, clinical performance and satisfaction for the patients on the long term. rather than other benefits like less chair time, less risk for pulp injury, less time and cost

Objective: To evaluate the immediate and mediate outcomes of endocrowns and onlay ceramic restorations with glass fiber pin in endodontically treated teeth. Material and methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial, a double-blind (patient and examiner) is conducted by one trained and calibrated operators who perform all restorative procedures. The restorations are evaluated longitudinally by a blind and calibrated examiner using the USPHS. A total of 20 patients will be randomly assigned to each group for a total of 40 patients. The randomization sequence will be generated (www.sealedenvelope.com) and to ensure the confidentiality of the allocation, this will be used opaque, sealed and numbered envelopes in series. These will be kept with an independent researcher for the moment of inclusion of the subjects. In the group of onlays, the teeth receive a fiberglass pin in the main root canal and composite resin filling. In the group of endocrown, only the restoration fill the pulp chamber. The parts are milled in IPS e-max CAD (Ivoclar Vivadent) and cemented with the Multilink cementation system (Ivoclar Vivadent). The immediate clinical (focused in restoration and patient) and mediate (radiographic and clinical) outcomes will be compared between the groups. Survival and success rates will be defined in 24 months. Survival will be established by Kaplan-Meier survival curve and log-rank can be conducted to identify as variables associated with as failures over time. Multivariate analysis with the Cox regression models will be condutcted for the determination of failure predictors. For all analyzes, the significance value will be adjusted to 5%.

The aim of the study is to conduct a prospective randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effect of immediate and delayed surgical periodontal therapy after non-surgical endodontic treatment on periodontal healing of the concurrent endodontic -periodontal lesion with communication.

The aim of this prospective randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of chlorhexidine intracanal medicament along with periodontal treatment in concomitant endodontic periodontal lesions with communication in terms of periodontal healing. Forty-seven patients were randomly divided into: group 1: conventional endodontic treatment with open flap debridement (OFD after 3 month of endodontic treatment) were performed, in group 2: endodontic treatment with 2% chlorhexidine gel (CHX) as an intracanal medicament placed in root canals and after 3 month OFD were performed. Primary outcome variables included probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level and bleeding on probing.

A short fiber reinforced composite base filling material has been shown to improve the strength of a direct composite filling significantly. It prevents fracture propagation and reduces shrinkage strain. These features are needed especially in endodontically treated molars, as root-canal treated teeth are structurally compromised and their restoration is associated with technical failures such as debonding and vertical root fractures. Application on this core fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) material is simplified when compared to post and core techniques commonly used to restore endodontically treated teeth. Clinically, the use of core FRC offers a cost-effective way to restore endodontically treated molars without root canal involvement. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical performance of endodontically treated molars restored with either direct composite restorations with a FRC substructure, or with indirect full-ceramic onlay restorations, i.e. endo-crowns.

The aim of this study will be to evaluate the clinical performance of polyethylene fiber reinforced resin composite restorations versus bulk fill resin composite restorations in endodontically treated teeth.

The pulp necrosis of permanent immature teeth implies the interruption of the root formation and apical closure. Diode lasers have been used in many areas of dentistry, with tendency of good results in canal and dentine disinfection. The bactericidal effect of high-power lasers is based on dose dependent heat generation. Its antimicrobial effectiveness against diverse microorganisms has already been demonstrated. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a two-step therapeutic approach starting with the application of a photosensitizing agent and followed by irradiation with light energy that is spectrally matched to activate the drug. The balance between disinfection and the creation of an intracanal microenvironment conducive for the proliferation of stem cells requires further investigation. Aims of study are to compare the time required to obtain the clinical healing and the disappearance of clinical symptoms, and absence of periapical radiolucency, by using PDT and diode laser, with standard disinfection alone; to assess specificity of microbial load in permanent immature teeth, and root canal disinfection ability of PDT and diode laser, in compare with standard disinfection alone.

The maintenance of primary teeth until their exfoliation has been one of the main purposes of Pediatric Dentistry, are they representing the fundamental basis for proper occlusion of the permanent dentition. Often, injuries or extensive dental caries reach the pulp of deciduous teeth making maintenance on these dependent endodontic treatment arc. Thus, this study was to conduct a randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the performance of endodontic treatment in primary teeth using MTA paste, comparing to Vitapex.

The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical and radiological outcome of root canal treatment with OrthoMTA in primary second molars without successors in which traditional root canal treatment with gutta-percha could not be performed.
