NCT03278054

Brief Summary

Aim: To evaluate and compare the outcome of primary endodontic treatment following use of different instrumentation techniques. Materials and methods: Study subjects were recruited from the pool of patients referred for the non-surgical root canal treatment in the Department of Conservative Dentistry \& Endodontics at PGIDS, Rohtak (Haryana). The study population comprised of patients requiring primary root canal treatment following the diagnosis of pulpal necrosis with chronic apical periodontitis in mature mandibular first and second molars. Subjects were allocated to one of the three study groups: manual instrumentation, ProTaper instrumentation and Hybrid instrumentation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Radiographic success

    Periapical radiolucency was graded as Periapical Index (PAI) and scores less than 3 were grded as success

    till 12 month period

  • Clinical success

    Absence of pain tenderness sinus or swelling was graded as clinical success

    12 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Pain intensity

    every 24 hours for 7 days

Study Arms (3)

Manual group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Root Canal Treatment with hand instruments:Root canal treatment was done with instrumentation using manual K files.

Other: Root Canal Treatment with hand instruments

ProTaper group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Root canal treatment with Protaper instruments:Root canal treatment was done using ProTaper rotary files S1, S2, F1, and F2.

Other: Root canal treatment with Protaper instruments

Hybrid group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Root canal treatment with hybrid instrumentation:Root canal treatment was carried out using ProTaper and Hyflex CM files.

Other: Root canal treatment with hybrid instrumentation

Interventions

Root canal treatment was performed with K files.

Manual group

Root canals were enlarged with S1 S2 F1F2 F2 Protaper instruments

ProTaper group

Root canal were enlarged with combination of a combination of ProTaper Universal instruments to shape the coronal and middle thirds and Hyflex CM to prepare the apical third

Hybrid group

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 60 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Patient willing to participate in the study.
  • Age greater than 18 years.
  • No history of antibiotic use prior to treatment.
  • Mature permanent mandibular molar having apical periodontitis requiring primary root canal treatment.
  • There must be a radiographic evidence of periapical radiolucency and a diagnosis of pulpal necrosis, as confirmed by negative response to cold and electrical tests; and absence of bleeding on entering the pulp chamber.

You may not qualify if:

  • Root canal retreatment.
  • Failure to obtain authorization from patients.
  • The presence of a difficult canal anatomy, internal or external resorption and immature teeth.
  • Accident or complication during treatment like calcified canals, inability to achieve apical patency in any canals.
  • Immuno-compromised, diabetic, pregnant and hypertensive patients.
  • Periodontally compromised teeth.
