April 24, 2024 updated by: Ipek Eraslan Akyuz, TC Erciyes University

Evaluation of the Effects of Different Irrigation Solutions Used in Regenerative Endodontic Treatment of Lower Molars With Open Necrotic Apexes on Postoperative Pain and Lesion Healing

In this study researchers plan to conduct, three different irrigation solutions that are responsible for the release of growth factors necessary for the success of regenerative endodontic treatments will be used. These solutions; Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid (EDTA), Etidronic Acid and Citric Acid. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of different irrigation solutions used in regenerative endodontic treatment of necrotic open apex molar teeth on postoperative pain. Additionally, the healing of these teeth will be monitored for 1 year.

Detailed Description

Root canal treatment is a treatment method applied to milk and permanent teeth. The inflamed and necrotic pulp where the root canal is located is cleaned, debrided chemo-mechanically, and finally filled hermetically with a biocompatible material. Necrotic immature teeth lose their restorative and defensive abilities. Since the root canal walls of these teeth are thin and weak, regenerative endodontic procedures are applied more frequently in the treatment of immature teeth to ensure root development and to restore the vitality of the pulp tissue. In this study researchers plan to conduct, three different irrigation solutions that are responsible for the release of growth factors necessary for the success of regenerative endodontic treatments will be used. These solutions; Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid (EDTA), Etidronic Acid and Citric Acid. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of different irrigation solutions used in regenerative endodontic treatment of necrotic open apex molar teeth on postoperative pain. Additionally, the healing of these teeth will be monitored for 1 year.

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

  • Child

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Description

Inclusion Criteria:• Molars with open apex

  • Teeth with apical periodontitis
  • Teeth for which prosthetic restoration is not planned
  • Patients between the ages of 8-15 who do not have any significant health problems
  • Patients who are not accompanied by periodontal problems and have good oral hygiene

Exclusion Criteria:• People with systemic disease and allergic reactions

  • Severely damaged teeth
  • If the tooth has previously undergone root canal treatment.
  • Use of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and painkillers in the last two weeks

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Active Comparator: Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA)
Regenerative endodontic treatments require the use of irrigation solutions to break down inorganic and organic tissue residues in the root canals. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA)will be used when disinfecting root canals. (GROUP 1)
Other: Using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), citric acid ((MONO/ANH) and etidronic acid (HEBP) to clean root canals during regenerative endodontic treatments
Regenerative endodontic treatment using different irrigation solutions
Active Comparator: CITRIC ACID (MONO/ANH)

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
Determining and recording pain levels on the pain scale between treatment sessions
Time Frame: 2 weeks
Evaluations close to 100 on the postoperative pain scale indicate that the severity of pain increases. Evaluations close to 0 indicate that the severity of pain has decreased.
2 weeks

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
In the follow-up sessions after the treatment, the size of the lesion in the bone (mm2) is measured by radiography.
Time Frame: 2 years
Evaluations close to 100 on the scale following lesion healing indicate that the lesion size has increased. Evaluations close to 0 indicate that the lesion size has decreased.
2 years
