Detaillierte Beschreibung
Post-treatment chronic apical periodontitis is an inflammatory condition caused by persistent microbial infection within the root canal system, characterized by progressive periapical bone destruction mediated by host immune-inflammatory mechanisms. Root canal retreatment remains the treatment of choice for failed endodontic cases; however, postoperative pain and incomplete resolution of inflammatory mediators remain common concerns. Clinical evidence demonstrates that postoperative pain following endodontic retreatment is influenced by microbial persistence, host inflammatory response, and intracanal medication protocols.
The RANK/RANKL/OPG axis is a key regulator of osteoclastic activity and periapical bone resorption. Elevated RANKL levels and altered RANKL/OPG ratio are associated with active periapical bone destruction. Modulation of this pathway may improve healing outcomes. Recent studies suggest that probiotics can regulate immune response, reduce inflammatory cytokines, and decrease RANKL expression.
This randomized clinical trial includes patients diagnosed with previously root-filled teeth presenting with chronic apical periodontitis indicated for non-surgical retreatment.
Standardized retreatment procedures are performed under aseptic conditions. Periapical exudate samples collected for biochemical analysis of RANKL and OPG levels at predetermined time points. Postoperative pain is assessed to investigate whether systemic probiotic administration can act as a host-modulating adjunct in endodontic retreatment and improve both symptomatic and biological healing outcomes.
