NCT07466095
Observational cross-sectional study aims to determine the correlation between pulpal status and IL-8 and Presepsin levels in the pulpal blood.
NCT07297836
When faced with primary teeth affected by irreversible pulpitis or pulp necrosis, extraction is often the preferred option for practitioners, although validated alternatives exist, notably pulpectomy, which has high success rates when performed correctly. Recommended by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, this technique relies on rigorous disinfection and the use of materials adapted to natural exfoliation. Lesion sterilization tissue repair (LSTR), although more controversial due to the use of topical antibiotics, can also be considered in certain clinical situations. However, data on French practices in this area are very limited, hence the need to evaluate practitioners' treatment choices, their potential reservations, and the criteria guiding their decisions.
NCT05336682
Group I (Experimental group I): Lesion Sterilization and Tissue Repair with radicular instrumentation. Coronal and accessible radicular pulp tissue are extirpated using rotary files. After proper drying, the paste is placed in the cavity and canals. Group II (Experimental group II): Lesion Sterilization and Tissue Repair with no radicular instrumentation. Only the coronal pulp is removed, the pulpal floor is covered with triple antibiotic paste with propylene glycol mix. Group III (Control group): Conventional pulpectomy. Pulp tissue extirpation is done. Biomechanical preparation is done using rotary files with frequent irrigation with Chlorhexidine. The canals are dried using sterile absorbent paper points followed by obturation by the paste of Zinc oxide and eugenol.
NCT07230717
Preserving primary teeth until their normal exfoliation time is crucial for maintaining the child's normal function, esthetics, arch integrity, and correct eruption of permanent successors. Given the growing interest in conservative procedures and the clinical need for simpler, more predictable pulp therapy outcomes in children, evaluating pulpotomy with Pulpotec as a potential alternative to pulpectomy is essential. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of pulpotomy using Pulpotec versus pulpectomy using Metapex, a calcium hydroxide with iodoform paste, to treat primary molars in children diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis or necrotic pulp in the Postgraduate Pediatric Dental Clinic at Ajman University, UAE. A total of 25 contralateral paired molar samples from children aged 4 to 8 will be included in this split-mouth randomized controlled study. Each child will serve as their own control, with one tooth randomized to the intervention group (Pulpotomy using Pulpotec) and the other to the control group (Pulpectomy using Metapex) to assess patients' clinical and radiographic outcomes over a 12-month follow-up period. Patients will have their dental anxiety psychometrically assessed using the RMS pictorial scale. In addition, a pulse oximeter will be used as a biological marker in the study to measure oxygen saturation and pulse rate.
NCT06760312
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine patients' the inflammation and pain response to different apical actions used in rotary instrumentation during root canal shaping process. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How the different apical actions of endodontic motors influence the pain and inflammatory mediator release from the periapical region of related tooth? 2. Does the perceived pain differ among the used apical action methods after the root canal preparation? 3. Are the perceived pain and local pain mediator levels coherent? Participants will: Attend to the root canal treatment in the endodontics clinic. The treatment will be two visits. Answer the Visual Analog Scale questionnaire on day 0 (first appt.) and Day 3 (second appt.) Keep a diary of their symptoms and the number of times they use an anti-inflammatory drug.
NCT06922578
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of pulpotomy using Neoputty MTA vital primary molars diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. The main question it aims to answer is: Will Neoputty MTA pulpotomy have higher clinical and radiographic success in comparison to Endoflas pulpectomy in primary molars with irreversible pulpitis?
NCT06854744
This study will be carried out to evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographic effect of zinc oxide-ozonated olive oil (ZnO-OO) versus Modified Triple Antibiotic Paste (MTAP) as a Lesion Sterilization and Tissue Repair Technique in Primary Molars
NCT06818578
This study aimed to assess the clinical and radiographic success of lesion sterilization and tissue repair (LSTR) therapy with different antibiotic combinations, focusing on evaluating whether the alternative combination of clindamycin instead of minocycline is as effective as the standard 3Mix-MP formulation.
NCT06002698
Background The European Society of Endodontology (ESE) and the American Association of Endodontists (AAE) position statements on the management of deep caries and exposed pulp recommended adoption and promotion of strategies aimed at preserving the pulp, but also acknowledged the need for well-designed and adequately powered randomised control trials to provide the evidence needed to support vital pulp treatment (VPT) and change clinical practice. Objectives 1. To undertake a randomised controlled clinical trial comparing full pulpotomy with root canal treatment for mature maxillary and mandibular posterior teeth with signs and symptoms indicative of irreversible pulpitis and normal apical tissues in adults. 2. Undertake a cost-effectiveness analysis to examine the potential long-term costs and benefits of pulpotomy. 3. Undertake a process evaluation to assess the acceptability of the intervention to both dentists and patients, while exploring the barriers and enablers to implementation.
NCT05902936
With consideration of the previous studies regarding the properties of i-PRF, it will be used in combination with another bioactive material: (Nano-BAG) versus using of i-PRF only as a pulpotomy material with using a premixed bioceramic putty as a coronal sealing material in both cases, to evaluate if there is a difference in the success rate of pulpotomy in case of using Nano-BAG in combination with i-PRF So, in this study the investigators will use Nano-BAG in combination with i-PRF as a material for pulpotomy in cases of mature permanent mandibular molars and compare its outcomes with using i-PRF only and in both cases pulpotomy material will be covered with a layer of premixed bioceramic putty for coronal sealing.
NCT04996641
Pilot study involving 20 patients undergoing dental treatment prior to radiation therapy. Comparison of outcome parameters to existing data of age and gender matched patients.
NCT05582317
Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of combination of biodentine with simvastatin as a pulpotomy agent for vital primary molars clinically and radiographically. Study design: 60 primary molars in 20 children aged 4-7 years old were randomly allocated to three groups, Biodentine, Simvastatin and combination of Biodentine and simvastatin. Clinical and radiographic examinations were conducted at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after treatment. Key words: Pulpotomy, Primary teeth, Biodentine, Simvastatin.
