Influence of Temporary Filling Material Composition on the Success Rate of Endodontic Treatments - Randomized Clinical Study

The need for endodontic treatment is still very common in the clinical routine, whether due to dento-alveolar trauma or caries. In some cases, the temporary filling procedure is required until the endodontic treatment is completed. The temporary filling material should be biocompatible and bacteriostatic. The aim of this study is through a randomized clinical trial, double blind, split-mouth, evaluate the success rate (contamination rate, periapical lesion relapse and the presence of exudate between the treatment's sessions) of endodontically treated teeth that required filling with temporary material. The composition of the temporary filling material (cement (Based on calcium hydroxide; and based on mineral trioxide aggregate) will be evaluated. Twenty participants with at least two teeth with the need of endodontic treatment will be selected. The teeth will be randomly divided into 2 different groups according to the temporary filling material composition (Based on calcium hydroxide; and based on mineral trioxide aggregate). Data will be collected, tabulated and submitted to statistical analysis.
