Overview
Brief Summary
Objective: The objective of this study will be to evaluate the effectiveness of different endodontic treatment techniques in postoperative symptoms, apical repair, longevity of rehabilitations, and oral health-related quality of life.
Methods: This prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical study was approved at the Research Ethics Committee (nº 2.353.996) and will consist of a sample of 350 patients who will be attended in the clinics of the Federal University of Fluminense/Institute of Health of Nova Friburgo (UFF/ISNF), in which they will be selected based on eligibility criteria. Patients aged up to 18 years, with teeth with necrotic pulps and radiographic evidence of periapical lesion will be included. These patients will be randomly divided into 8 groups: I (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, sodium hypochlorite as irrigant, lateral condensation filling with MTA Fillapex; II (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, sodium hypochlorite as irrigant, photobiomodulation (aPDT and LLLT), lateral condensation filling with MTA Fillapex; III (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, chlorhexidine as irrigant, lateral condensation filling with MTA fillapex; IV (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, sodium hypochlorite as irrigant, lateral condensation filling with AH Plus; V (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, sodium hypochlorite as irrigant, cryotherapy with saline solution, lateral condensation filling with MTA Fillapex; VI (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, sodium hypochlorite as irrigant, cryotherapy with saline solution, lateral condensation filling with AH Plus; VII (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, sodium hypochlorite as irrigant, ozone therapy, lateral condensation filling with MTA Fillapex; VIII (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, sodium hypochlorite as irrigant, ozone therapy, lateral condensation filling with AH Plus; IX (35 patients): molars will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, conventional irrigation with sodium hypochlorite, lateral condensation filling with MTA fillapex; X (35 patients): molars will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, passive ultrasonic irrigation with sodium hypochlorite, lateral condensation filling with MTA fillapex. The analysis of the postoperative symptoms will be performed by the visual analog pain scale at 1th, 2th, 3th, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 14th and 30th days and by the clinical evaluation of edema in 48 and 72 hours. The periapical lesion repair will be evaluated clinically and radiographically at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. The longevity of rehabilitations will be performed clinically and radiographically for 24 months. In addition, patients will respond a quality of life questionnaire (OHIP-14) on the day of endodontic treatment, on the 7th day and on the 30th day.
Data analysis: The data will be inserted into a statistical program (SPSS), obtaining the frequencies of the characterization variables of the sample. The appropriate tests will be used to compare the means of the groups.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Healthy individuals over 18 years of age.
- •Unirradicular teeth or molars with necrotic pulps and radiographic evidence of periapical lesion.
- •The state of the pulp will be determined by tests of sensitivity to cold and hot and confirmed by the absence of bleeding when accessing the pulp chamber.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients with preoperative pain.
- •Patients with edema.
- •Individuals with systemic disorders and pregnant.
- •Positive history of antibiotic use in the last month.
- •Patients who require antibiotic pre-medication for dental treatment.
- •Positive history of analgesics in the previous 24 hours.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Postoperative pain assessed by visual analog scale after endodontic treatment with enlargement of the apical foramen, in necrotic teeth and periapical lesion, and used photobiomodulation and different irrigating solutions.
Time Frame: Postoperative pain will be assessed by visual analog scale to measure the change of pain in first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, fourteenth, and thirtieth days.
To assess clinically the relationship of photobiomodulation and different irrigating substances (sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine) with or without ultrasonic activation in postoperative pain evaluated through visual analog scale, after endodontic treatment with enlargement of the apical foramen, in necrotic teeth and periapical lesion. This scale is represented by a ruler from 0 to 10, in which zero means without pain and progressively to ten, severe pain.
Edema assessed by photography after endodontic treatment with enlargement of the apical foramen, in necrotic teeth and periapical lesion, and used photobiomodulation and different irrigating solutions (sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine).
Time Frame: Edema will be evaluated by photos in 48 and 72 hours. The photo will be taken from the face to assess the edema of the region after treatment.
To assess edema by photos after foraminal enlargement with photobiomodulation and different irrigating substances (sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine) with or without ultrasonic activation.
Secondary Outcomes
- Radiografic evaluation of apical repair after endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement.(Radiographs of each tooth will be performed using a standardized digital radiograph at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. The periapical repair will be determined through radiographs as cured, in the healing process and failure.)
- Clinical and radiographic evaluation of rehabilations after endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement.(Definitive restorations will be evaluated in adequate; inadequate and missing.)
- Oral health-related quality of life assessed by OHIP-14, after endodontic treatment with enlargement of the apical foramen, in necrotic teeth and periapical lesion.(OHIP-14 will be performed on the day of endodontic treatment, on the 7th day and on the 30th day. This questionnaire has 14 questions in which the patient answers between never (0), rarely (1), sometimes (2), repeatedly (3) and always (4).)
