Root Canal Infection

The aim of the present study is to assess the incidence and severity of postoperative pain after root canal preparation of mandibular molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis using a minimally invasive reciprocating single-file system in comparison to Wave One Gold.

This study evaluates the antibacterial effectiveness of two different intracanal medicaments, Bio-C Temp and UltraCal XS , in mandibular molar teeth with chronic apical periodontitis. Intracanal bacterial load is assessed before and after root canal preparation, after intracanal medicament removal, and after final irrigation using droplet digital PCR.

The antimicrobial efficacy and healing potential of clinically approved ferumoxytol nanozymes versus the standard 3% NaOCl irrigant will be evaluated in adults undergoing endodontic treatment. Building on prior protocols that demonstrated ferumoxytol nanozymes antimicrobial activity as a root canal irrigant, ferumoxytol solution will be applied topically, assessment of clinical and radiographical findings will determine its potential as a novel disinfection and its long-term outcome.

This study intends to adopt a multicenter, randomized controlled, single-blind, non-inferiority clinical trial design. 246 premolars that meet the inclusion criteria after complete root canal treatment will be selected from the clinical practice and randomly divided into two groups. One group will be restored with the modified endocrown, and the other group will be restored with personalized post and core combined with full crown. Follow-up visits were conducted at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after the operation respectively. Through clinical and imaging examinations, the survival rates of the two different restorations were evaluated and used as the main evaluation indicators to fill the gap in efficacy data of the modified endocrown in clinical applications, providing a strong evidence-based medical basis for subsequent restoration improvement and standardized application.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn which of three common root-canal rinsing (irrigation) methods removes bacteria most effectively in adult patients who need root-canal treatment. The main questions it will answer are: How much does a chitosan solution used alone lower the number of bacteria inside the root canal? Do the combinations sodium hypochlorite + chitosan or sodium hypochlorite + EDTA lower bacteria even more than chitosan alone? Researchers will compare the three irrigation methods to see which one achieves the greatest bacterial reduction. What participants will do Be randomly assigned to one of three groups: Group 1: Chitosan only Group 2: Sodium hypochlorite followed by chitosan Group 3: Sodium hypochlorite followed by EDTA Attend two clinic visits: Visit 1: Receive standard root-canal treatment under local anesthesia. Provide tiny paper-point samples from inside the canal before and after the assigned rinse (painless; takes seconds). Visit 2 (about 1 week later): Return for a check-up and final filling of the tooth. Record any pain or discomfort for the first three days after treatment in a simple diary (or by phone). About 90 adults will take part. All procedures are routine in dental care, and there is no cost to participate. Participants may withdraw at any time and can ask the study dentist any questions throughout the trial.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the GentleWave® System compared to conventional methods in reducing postoperative pain in patients with necrotic pulp or requiring endodontic retreatment.

This study is a prospective randomized controlled study of patients who come to the University and non-surgical root canal retreatment is considered as the election of choice in presence of periapical disease. The aim is to evaluate the success rate of non-surgical retreatment performed in one compared to two visit treatment up to 10 years of follow-up. The null hypothesis is that there will be no statistically significant differences in rates of success, when performing root canal non-surgical retreatment in one or two visits.
