About this study

Official title: Regenerative Root Canal Treatment of Mature Teeth With Pulp Necrosis and Apical Periodontitis Using Biodentine Compared With MTA: Randomized Clinical Double-blind Trial

The aim of this prospective, randomized, controlled double-blind study is to evaluate the effectiveness of biodentine compared with MTA used as pulp space barrier on discoloration of teeth after regenerative based non-obturation root canal treatment in mature single canal with pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis.

Read the detailed description
  • Regenerative endodontic treatment will be performed through two visits: First visit aims to clean and disinfect the tooth canal by copious irrigation with NaOCL and EDTA solution . At the end of first visit, canal will be dressed by CaOH as intracanal medicaments.

Second visit will be after two weeks. After removal of CaOH dressing by copius irrigation, evoking bleeding inside canal by over instrumentation. When blood become semi-coagulated, according to the random sequence number of the participants, either biodentine or white MTA will be placed as pulp space barrier.

At the end of treatment, the access cavity will be sealed with composite restoration.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • BiodentineOther

    Biodentine is calcium silicate based cement which is bioactive and inductive material. Biodentine will be applied as coronal plug material.

  • White MTAOther

    Also called white mineral trioxide aggregate

    MTA is calcium silicate based cement which is bioactive and inductive material. MTA is used in most cases of regenerative endodontics and it will be applied as coronal plug material.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Discoloration of teeth

    Discoloration of teeth that will be assessed clinically through follow up period 3, 6, 9, 12 months by visual examination and by using color shade guide (Tetric N shade guide, Ivoclar Vivadent) whether tooth discolored or not in comparison with the original preoperative color shade.

    Measured: Up to one Year after completion of regenerative endodontic treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Healing of Periapical Tissue

    Healing of periapical tissue will be assessed clinically and radiographically through follow up period: 3, 6, 9, 12 months. When the case is clinically asymptomatic: (without sinus tract, swelling, with no palpation, or percussions pain) and radiographically showed absence or reduction of the radiolucency are together will considered successful of regenerative treatment.

    Measured: after 3, 6,9 and Up to 12 months after completion of regenerative endodontic treatment

  2. Restoring the sensibility of tooth

    Electric pulp tester (EPT)

    Measured: after 6,9 and Up to 12 months after completion of regenerative endodontic treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Biodentine and White MTA in people with Necrotic Pulp and Apical Periodontitis, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Discoloration of teeth (time frame: Up to one Year after completion of regenerative endodontic treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04018456, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jan 2024.
