About this study

Official title: Clinical and Radiographic Comparative Evaluation of Healing of Periapical Lesion Using Triple Antibiotic Paste With Combination of Chitosan and Calcium Hydroxide When Used as a Root Canal Disinfectant- An In Vivo Study

Investigators observed the clinical and radiographic healing of periapical lesion using Chitosan mixed with calcium hydroxide and compared it with triple antibiotic paste when used as intracanal medicament in 3months, 6 months and 12 months.

Read the detailed description

Aim: To evaluate and compare the healing of periapical lesions using chitosan mixed with calcium hydroxide or Triple Antibiotic Paste at 3,6 and 12 months.

Methodology:

20 adult patients having periapical lesions in single rooted teeth were selected in this study after being assessed using the PAI index. Patients were randomly assigned to: Group - I (n=10) Chitosan with Ca (OH)2 and Group -II (n=10) Triple Antibiotic paste (TAP)

After access opening and cleaning and shaping were done in the first visit, the pertinent intracanal medicaments were placed depending on the patient group. After 4 weeks, on the second visit, the medicament was removed andobturation was done in the asymptomatic teeth. Both clinical and radiographic endodontic evaluation was done at 0, 3, 6 and 12months using the same parameters.

Radiographic evaluation was done using the PAI Index and was compared at 0, 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment, Z Test.

What is being measured

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

  1. healing of periapical lesion

    the periapical status will be assessed by using the periapical index [PAI] using radiographs and scoring was done according to following scoring index as

    1. Normal periapical structures
    2. Small changes in bone structure
    3. Changes in bone structure with some mineral loss
    4. Periodontitis with well-defined radiolucent area
    5. Severe periodontitis with exacerbating features

    Measured: change in PAI index from baseline to 3 months, baseline to 6 months and baseline to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. patient pain perception

    pain will be assessed using visual analogue (VAS )scale along with any swelling following scale of -10 with 0 score depicts no pain and score 10 depicts severe pain

    Measured: 3months, 6months and 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing root canal treatment and intracanal medicament in people with Periapical Abscess, run by Dr. D. Y. Patil Dental College & Hospital at 1 site in India.

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 11 inclusion and 0 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Mar 2020. 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 India. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Soumya S Shetty, MDS (8888200888, drsoumyasshetty@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

healing of periapical lesion (time frame: change in PAI index from baseline to 3 months, baseline to 6 months and baseline to 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 24 Mar 2020.
