Comparing the Effect of Different Intracanal Dressing on Failed Root Canal Treated Cases on Periapical Healing
Comparison of the Effects of Different Natural and Synthetic Intracanal Medicaments on the Healing of Periapical Lesion in Retreatment Cases (A Randomized Clinical Trial)
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of different intracanal medication between endodontic retreatment visits in previously failed root canal treatment patients (single root canal anteriors or premolars teeth). The main question it aims to answer are:
Is natural and synthetic intracanal Medicament effective in reducing or complete healing of Periapical lesions or not? the researchers will compare the effect of different intracanal dressing including:
nanocurcumin gel
curcumin gel
ciprofloxacin +ibuprofen gel
calcium hydroxide Paste as control group in between the endodontic retreatment visits to see if these medicaments work well on periapical lesion healing this outcome measured by Cone beam CT at base and after 1 year follow up period

Study Arms (4)
Nanocurcumin gel .
EXPERIMENTAL
Preparation Method: Olive oil (5%), surfactant (Tween 80 (8%)) and co-surfactant (PEG 400 (2%)) were used as excipients and their selection was based on the solubility of curcumin. A high-energy ultrasonication techniquewas used to prepare the Cur-NE. Curcumin (0.3%) was dissolved in oil /surfactant/ co-surfactant mixture and stirred till obtaining clear solution. The mixture was microtitrated with distilled water (85 %) to achieve a coarse emulsion. A 20 kHz ultrasonic processor was used for the production of the desired nano-emulsion.
Gel Preparation:
0.4gm of Carboxymethyl cellulose (Loba CHIME, india) was sprinkled gently and gradually over the solution of Cur NE 0.3% under mild temperature with vigorous stirring to get homogenous gel
Drug: nanocurcumin gel
Curcumin gel
EXPERIMENTAL
curcumin 250 mg powder + carboxymethyl cellulose 300mg+distilled water to 10ml
