Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

After a thorough history, clinical and radiographic examination with all eligibility confirmation, written informed consent will be taken from the patient after explaining the procedure and its associated risks and benefits. Patients randomly allocated to one of the three study groups Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), Chlorhexidine (CHX) and combination of (CHX+H2O2). All three irrigants will be used according to standard protocol during biomechanical preparation. Pain analysis will be carried out preoperatively and postoperatively at every 6 hours for 1 day and then every 24 hours till 7 days after the intervention. All the subjects will be followed up for evaluation of clinical and radiographic success at 3, 6 months and 1year.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical success
Time Frame: Base line to 1 year.

Absence of signs and symptoms Absence of tenderness to percussion Tooth mobility of grade 1 or less Absence of associated soft tissue swelling or tenderness to palpation Attachment loss of less than 5mm .

Two experienced observers with no knowledge of the treatment protocol will independently examine the immediate post obturation and follow up radiographs, mounted side by side, under controlled conditions. The treatment is considered successful only when both clinical and radiographic criteria are met. The worst outcome of an individual root decide the overall outcome for the tooth. In the event of disagreement, the two observers will meet to discuss their findings and came to an agreement.
Base line to 1 year.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Radiographic success
Time Frame: Baseline to 1 year

Absence of periapical alterations (radiolucency at furcal or periapical region) Scoring of each tooth will be done according to the following five point scale (PAI)

Score Description

  1. Normal Periapical structure
  2. Small changes in bone structure
  3. Changes in bone structure with some mineral loss
  4. Periodontitis with well defined radiolucent area
  5. Severe periodontitis with exacerbating features
Baseline to 1 year
Pain assessment
Time Frame: Baseline to 7 days
Assess the incidence and intensity of pain postoperatively at every 6 hours to 1 day till 7d ays using Visual Analogue scale.Pain intensity will be noted as no pain (0-4mm), mild pain (5-44), moderate pain (45-74mm) and severe pain (75-100mm) on the scale of 0-100mm
Baseline to 7 days
