Comparing the Effect of Different Intracanal Dressing on Failed Root Canal Treated Cases on Periapical Healing

Phase 2
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Periapical Disease
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT06342830
Lead Sponsor
Ain Shams University
Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of different intracanal medication between endodontic retreatment visits in previously failed root canal treatment patients (single root canal anteriors or premolars teeth). The main question it aims to answer are:

* Is natural and synthetic intracanal Medicament effective in reducing or complete healing of Periapical lesions or not? the researchers will compare the effect of different intracanal dressing including:

* nanocurcumin gel

* curcumin gel

* ciprofloxacin +ibuprofen gel

* calcium hydroxide Paste as control group in between the endodontic retreatment visits to see if these medicaments work well on periapical lesion healing this outcome measured by Cone beam CT at base and after 1 year follow up period

Nanocurcumin gel .nanocurcumin gelPreparation Method: Olive oil (5%), surfactant (Tween 80 (8%)) and co-surfactant (PEG 400 (2%)) were used as excipients and their selection was based on the solubility of curcumin. A high-energy ultrasonication techniquewas used to prepare the Cur-NE. Curcumin (0.3%) was dissolved in oil /surfactant/ co-surfactant mixture and stirred till obtaining clear solution. The mixture was microtitrated with distilled water (85 %) to achieve a coarse emulsion. A 20 kHz ultrasonic processor was used for the production of the desired nano-emulsion. Gel Preparation: 0.4gm of Carboxymethyl cellulose (Loba CHIME, india) was sprinkled gently and gradually over the solution of Cur NE 0.3% under mild temperature with vigorous stirring to get homogenous gel
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
healing of periapical lesion1 year

measured radiographically the periapical lesion volmetric changes by CBCT between preoperative and after1 year follow up

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
antibacterial effect (CFU)at first visit : S1 :baseline sample, S2 : sample immediately after chemomechanical procedure , at second visit S3: sample after 7 days of placement medication

Three samples S1 after removal of old root canal filling , S2 after mechanical Preparation , S3 after 7 days of placement of intracanal dressing measuring total bacterial count by colony forming unit each sample cultured and incubated for 24hours and bacterial counting measured

Interappointment Pain6,12, 24, 48, 72 hours after 1st visit

measured by Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) which is an 11-point scale consisting of numbers from 0 through 10 0 reading represents "no pain"

1- 3 readings represent "mild pain" 4- 6 readings represent "moderate pain" 7- 10 readings represent "severe pain" No or mild pain was considered as success while moderate or severe pain were regarded as failure.
