Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
the total numbers of Enterococcus Faecalis bacteria on bile esculin agar
colony forming units (CFU/ml).
one weak after application of intracanal medication
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Post operative pain
one weak after application of intracanal medication
Study Arms (3)
Group 1: Chlorohexidine (CHX) gel.
ACTIVE COMPARATORApplication of Chlorohexidine intracanal medication in secondry endodontic infection cases
Group 2: Chlorohexidine loaded by silver nanoparticles (Ag-np) gel.
ACTIVE COMPARATORApplication of chlorohexidine loaded by silver nanoparticles (Ag-np) gel intracanal medication in secondry endodontic infection cases
Group 3: Triple antibiotic-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (tachnp) gel.
ACTIVE COMPARATORApplication of triple antibiotic-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (tachnp) gelintracanal medication in secondry endodontic infection cases
Interventions
The paper points of three samples (S1, S2, and S3) will be placed each in a sterile falcon tube containing 1ml of brain heart infusion and labeled according to the type of intracanal medication used. Samples will be homogenized by the vortex and and one micron of each sample will be cultured on Bile Esculin Agar for E. faecalis. The plate will be labeled as the tube of the same sample and incubated at 37οC for 24-48 h and then after incubation, the total numbers of E.faecalis will be counted and calculated to get the colony forming units (CFU/ml).
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Single rooted, single canal premolar teeth.
- Teeth indicated for non-surgical root canal retreatment.
- Teeth have signs and/or symptoms of post-treatment disease manifested by recurrent acute and/or chronic periapical abscess.
- Teeth have clinical signs and symptoms of endodontic failure as sensitivity to percussion, pain, swelling or fistula.
- Teeth with radiographic features of endodontic failure as persistent periapical lesion or widening of periodontal ligament.
- Symptomatic or asymptomatic teeth with short root canal filling indicated for prosthetic restoration
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with any systemic diseases.
- Pregnant or lactating patients.
- Immunocompromised patients.
- Non-restorable tooth.
- Calcified root canal.
- Teeth with root fracture.
- Teeth with periodontal pocket deeper than 4mm.
- Teeth have procedural error like ledge, broken instrument, or perforation
