Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Number of teeth without bacteria load after laser-devices and essential oil in endodontic treatment

    The number of teeth without isolated bacteria load were assessed. Microbiological samples from the root canals were collected immediately after accessing the canal, following endodontic treatment, and after the adjuvant treatments in allocated groups (Photodynamic therapy or Diode laser or Essential oil). The microbiological identification and quantification were provided by MALDI -TOF spectrometry and plate count assay.

    6 months

  • Number of teeth without bacteria load after sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) in endodontic treatment

    The number of teeth without isolated bacteria load were assessed after sodium hypochlorite irrigation in each group (Laser-device, Essential oil and Sodium hypochlorite). Microbiological samples from the root canals were collected immediately after accessing the canal, following the endodontic treatment. The microbiological identification and quantification were provided by MALDI -TOF spectrometry and plate count assay.

    6 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Radiography record of periapical lesion healing

    Change baseline radiography record at 6 months

Study Arms (3)

Laser-devices group

EXPERIMENTAL

Mechanico-chemical root canal preparation and root canal disinfection were be performed by means of mechanic-chemical methods including hand instruments followed by 1.5% sodium hypochlorite. Afterwards, depending on allocations, in the laser devices group, adjuvant treatment approaches were be performed by means of laser devices either photodynamic therapy (HELBO, Photodynamic Systems GmbH), or high power diode laser (940nm, Biolase).

Device: Laser-device groupDrug: Sodium hypochlorite group

Sodium hypochlorite

EXPERIMENTAL

Mechanico-chemical root canal preparation and root canal disinfection were be performed by means of mechanic-chemical methods including hand instruments followed by 1.5% sodium hypochlorite (pH 12), at room temperature (21 degrees Celsius).

Drug: Sodium hypochlorite group

Essential oil

EXPERIMENTAL

Mechanico-chemical root canal preparation and root canal disinfection were be performed by means of mechanic-chemical methods including hand instruments followed by 1.5% sodium hypochlorite (pH 12), at room temperature (21 degrees Celsius). Depending on allocations, in the essential oil group, the canals were be treated with adjuvant essential oil of Cymbopogon martinii and Thymus vulgaris (Herba oils, Herba doo, Belgrade, Serbia)

Drug: Essential OilDrug: Sodium hypochlorite group

Interventions

After each instrumentation, the root canals were irrigated with 1.5 % sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). Depending on allocations, in the laser-device groups, the adjuvant treatment approaches were performed either by means of photodynamic therapy (HELBO, Photodynamic Systems GmbH) or high power diode laser (940nm, Biolase ® Technology, CA, USA). Performing photodynamic therapy the root canals were filled with the phenothiazine chloride (HELBO® Endo Blue, Bredent, Germany) for 2 min following irradiation of diode laser (HELBO® TheraLite Laser (λ = 660 nm, power = 100 mW)) for 60 s. Performing only diode laser the root canals were be irrigated with a diode laser (λ = 940 maximal power 10W) for 60 s.
