NCT03763110

Brief Summary

This study aims to compare regenerative endodontics for necrotic young permanent anterior teeth using oral photo-activated disinfection versus triple antibiotic paste in terms of:

  1. 1.Clinical success in terms of absence of any complication such as spontaneous pain, sinus or swelling.
  2. 2.Radiographic success in terms of healing of periapical radiolucency or increase root thickness, length or apical closure.

Study Arms (2)

Photo Activated Disinfection

EXPERIMENTAL

Photoactivated disinfection (PAD) is based on the interaction of a photosensitive antibacterial agent and a light source. It uses a nontoxic dye \[named photosensitizer PS\] and low-intensity visible light. In oxygen presentation, these combine to produce some cytotoxic species. The PS molecules attach to bacteria membrane

Device: Photo Activated Disinfection

Antibiotic paste

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Hoshino et al. recommended a ratio of 1:1:1 of metronidazole (500 mg), minocycline (100 mg) and ciprofloxacin (200 mg) for the 3Mix formulation

Drug: antibiotic paste

Also known as: Photodynamic therapy (PDT)
Photo Activated Disinfection

An antibiotic mixture composed of ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, and minocycline, known as triple antibiotic paste (TAP) or "3mix", has been the most widely used medicament, This goes back to the studies by Hoshino et al.1996

Also known as: Triple antibiotic paste
Antibiotic paste

Eligibility Criteria

Age8 Years - 13 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • Healthy children with no physical, mental or systemic conditions.
  • Developmental age of the child is the most important factor so periapical x- ray will be taken first to assure apex immaturity.
  • No sex predilection.
  • Restorable necrotic young permanent anterior teeth

You may not qualify if:

  • Root fracture.
  • Internal or external root resorption.
  • Parents or guardians refuse to participate in the study.
