Premixed Bioceramic Putty as an Apical Plug in Immature Anterior Permanent Teeth

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Periapical Periodontitis
Interventions
Procedure: Mineral trioxide aggregate
Procedure: Premixed Bioceramic Putty
Registration Number
NCT06322979
Lead Sponsor
Tanta University
Brief Summary

Following the randomization procedure, children will be divided into 2 groups (25 immature anterior permanent incisors in each group): Group I will be treated with MTA as apical plug while group II will be treated with Premixed Bioceramic Putty as apical plug. After working length determination, instrumentation, and irrigation of the root canals, apical plug will be done. in MTA Group, MTA will be placed into the apical 4 mm of root canals, then a moist cotton pellet will be placed and the access cavity will be restored with glass-ionomer-based restoration. Next day, glass-ionomer-based restoration and the cotton pellet will be removed, then the coronal restoration will be completed with GIC, composite. In the Premixed Bioceramic Putty group, Well-Root™ PT will be placed into the apical 4 mm of the canals. After 12 min, the coronal and middle third of the root canal will be filled with gutta-percha. The coronal restoration will be completed with GIC, composite.

children will be recalled for clinical and radiographical follow-up after 6 and12 months after treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
the clinical success of apexification after using a new apical plug material (Premixed Bioceramic Putty ) compared to the widely used material (MTA)up to 12 months

The apexification procedure will be recorded as a clinical success if the tooth fulfils the following criteria: (1) No pain, (2) No swelling, (3) No tenderness to percussion, (4) No abscess or fistula, and (5) No abnormal tooth mobility.

the radiographic success of apexification after using a new apical plug material (Premixed Bioceramic Putty ) compared to the widely used material (MTA)at 6 and12 months follow up

The apexification procedure will be recorded to be radiographically successful if it demonstrates the following criteria: (1) reduction of apical lesion size (2) Normal periodontal ligament space (2) No furcation pathosis, and (3) No external resorption.

The apexification procedure will be radiographically unsuccessful if the apical lesion size increases.

The apexification procedure will be doubtful if the apical lesion size doesn't change

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in the periapical index (PAI)at 6 and12 months follow up

Radio-graphically, the periapical index provides an ordinal scale of 5 scores ranging from ''healthy'' to ''severe periodontitis with exacerbating features''. (1) Normal periapical structures. (2) Small changes in bone structure. (3) Changes in bone structure with some diffuse mineral loss. (4) Periodontitis with well-defined radiolucent area. (5) Severe periodontitis with exacerbating features. (1, 2: healthy and 3, 4, 5: pathological).
