Antibacterial Effects of Intracanal Medicaments in Acute Apical Abscesses (CAM-AAA)

9. september 2026 oppdatert av: Halit Aladağ, Ataturk University

Comparative Evaluation of the Antibacterial Efficacy of Calcium Hydroxide and a Calcium Silicate-Based Intracanal Medicament in Teeth With Acute Apical Abscesses Using Real-Time PCR: A Randomized Clinical Trial

This randomized clinical trial compares the antibacterial effects of calcium hydroxide and a calcium silicate-based intracanal medicament in teeth with acute apical abscesses. Microbiological samples are collected before root canal preparation, after chemomechanical preparation, and after intracanal medication. Bacterial levels are measured using Real-Time PCR. The main objective is to determine which intracanal medicament provides a greater reduction in the total bacterial load after a 7- to 10-day medication period.

Detaljert beskrivelse

Acute apical abscess is an endodontic infection characterized by localized inflammation, pain, swelling, and purulent exudate. Although chemomechanical root canal preparation substantially reduces the bacterial load, microorganisms may remain within the root canal system. Intracanal medicaments are therefore used between treatment sessions to improve microbial reduction.

In this randomized, parallel-group clinical trial, teeth diagnosed with acute apical abscess are allocated to receive either a calcium hydroxide intracanal medicament or a calcium silicate-based intracanal medicament. All teeth undergo standardized root canal treatment and irrigation procedures.

Microbiological samples are collected at three main treatment stages: before chemomechanical preparation, after chemomechanical preparation and irrigation, and after a 7- to 10-day intracanal medication period. Bacterial DNA is analyzed using SYBR Green Real-Time PCR. Universal 16S rRNA primers are used to quantify the total bacterial load. Selected bacterial species associated with endodontic infections are also evaluated.

The primary outcome is the change in total bacterial load between the post-instrumentation sample and the sample collected after intracanal medication. Secondary outcomes include changes in selected bacterial species and bacterial levels across the different sampling stages. The study aims to determine and compare the microbial effectiveness of the two intracanal medicaments in acute apical abscess cases.

Tiltaksbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Change in Total Bacterial Load After Intracanal Medication
Tidsramme: From immediately after chemomechanical preparation to 7 to 10 days after intracanal medicament placement
Total bacterial load will be quantified using universal 16S rRNA gene-based Real-Time PCR in samples collected after chemomechanical root canal preparation (S2) and after the 7- to 10-day intracanal medication period (S3). The antibacterial effect will be evaluated as the change in log10 bacterial load from S2 to S3 and compared between the two intervention groups.
