Regenerative Endodontic Procedure of Immature Permanent Teeth With Apical Periodontitis Using PRF

September 2, 2021 updated by: Xiaojing Huang, Fujian Medical University

Regenerative Endodontic Procedure of Immature Permanent Teeth With Apical Periodontitis Using Platelet-rich Fibrin : A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

This study evaluates the clinical effect of regenerative endodontic procedure using PRF in immature permanent teeth with apical periodontitis. Half of participants will receive the PRF instead of blood clots in the regenerative endodontic procedure, while the other half will receive a blood clots in the regenerative endodontic procedure.

Detailed Description

The conventional method of regenerative endodontic procedure using a blood clot as scaffold materials has shown successful results. However, it is very difficult to induce bleeding and place mineral trioxide aggregate over a blood clot. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), a second-generation platelet concentrate. PRF is a matrix of autologous fibrin containing a large quantity of platelets, growth factors and leukocytes. PRF preparation technique is very simple, inexpensive and doesn't require any chemical agents. The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that the use of PRF in regenerative endodontic procedure of immature permanent teeth with apical periodontitis will accelerate periapical bone healing and stimulate the root maturation.

  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Regenerative Endodontic Procedure + PRF
Visit 1: root canal dressing with triple antibiotic paste. Visit 2: a 5 ml sample of whole blood was drawn intravenously from the patient's forearm. The blood sample is centrifuged at 400 g for 10 min. The prepared PRF membrane is cut into segments, the fragments are placed into the canal space. The coronal is sealed mineral trioxide aggregate and composite resin.
Regenerative Endodontic Procedure with PRF: autologous PRF will be used instead of blood clot in the second vist.
Other Names:
  • mineral trioxide aggregate
No Intervention: Regenerative Endodontic Procedure
Regenerative Endodontic Procedure Visit 1: root canal dressing with triple antibiotic paste. Visit 2: Blood clot formation is induced in the root canal after disinfection. No PRF was used in this group. Then the canal access is sealed with mineral trioxide aggregate and composite resin.
