Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Objective: The objective of this study will be to evaluate the effectiveness of different endodontic treatment techniques in postoperative symptoms, apical repair, longevity of rehabilitations, and oral health-related quality of life.

Methods: This prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical study was approved at the Research Ethics Committee (nº 2.353.996) and will consist of a sample of 350 patients who will be attended in the clinics of the Federal University of Fluminense/Institute of Health of Nova Friburgo (UFF/ISNF), in which they will be selected based on eligibility criteria. Patients aged up to 18 years, with teeth with necrotic pulps and radiographic evidence of periapical lesion will be included. These patients will be randomly divided into 8 groups: I (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, sodium hypochlorite as irrigant, lateral condensation filling with MTA Fillapex; II (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, sodium hypochlorite as irrigant, photobiomodulation (aPDT and LLLT), lateral condensation filling with MTA Fillapex; III (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, chlorhexidine as irrigant, lateral condensation filling with MTA fillapex; IV (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, sodium hypochlorite as irrigant, lateral condensation filling with AH Plus; V (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, sodium hypochlorite as irrigant, cryotherapy with saline solution, lateral condensation filling with MTA Fillapex; VI (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, sodium hypochlorite as irrigant, cryotherapy with saline solution, lateral condensation filling with AH Plus; VII (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, sodium hypochlorite as irrigant, ozone therapy, lateral condensation filling with MTA Fillapex; VIII (35 patients): unirradicular teeth will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, sodium hypochlorite as irrigant, ozone therapy, lateral condensation filling with AH Plus; IX (35 patients): molars will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, conventional irrigation with sodium hypochlorite, lateral condensation filling with MTA fillapex; X (35 patients): molars will be submitted to endodontic treatment with foraminal enlargement, instrumentation with reciprocating rotation, passive ultrasonic irrigation with sodium hypochlorite, lateral condensation filling with MTA fillapex. The analysis of the postoperative symptoms will be performed by the visual analog pain scale at 1th, 2th, 3th, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 14th and 30th days and by the clinical evaluation of edema in 48 and 72 hours. The periapical lesion repair will be evaluated clinically and radiographically at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. The longevity of rehabilitations will be performed clinically and radiographically for 24 months. In addition, patients will respond a quality of life questionnaire (OHIP-14) on the day of endodontic treatment, on the 7th day and on the 30th day.

Data analysis: The data will be inserted into a statistical program (SPSS), obtaining the frequencies of the characterization variables of the sample. The appropriate tests will be used to compare the means of the groups.

The analysis of the postoperative symptoms will be performed by the visual analog pain scale at 1th, 2th, 3th, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 14th and 30th days and by the clinical evaluation of edema in 48 and 72 hours.

Assessment of periapical lesion

Intervention Type OTHER

The periapical lesion repair will be evaluated clinically and radiographically at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months.

Longevity of rehabilitations

Intervention Type OTHER

The teeth will be rehabilitated with resin and glass fiber post. The longevity of rehabilitations will be performed clinically and radiographically for 24 months.

Ozone therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

The analysis of the postoperative symptoms will be performed by the visual analog pain scale at 1th, 2th, 3th, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 14th and 30th days and by the clinical evaluation of edema in 48 and 72 hours.

Foraminal Enlargement / Irrigating solutions / Filling materials

Instrumentation with foraminal enlargement and various irrigation solutions and filling materials will be performed according to the allocated group.

The foraminal enlargement provides better results in the bacterial removal of the apical portion of the root canal. This instrumentation will be done with the Reciproc 40 or 50 system in the apical foramen, determined by the apical locator.

To contribute to disinfection of the root canal, sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine are the most widely used irrigators. Sodium hypochlorite has a broad antimicrobial spectrum and an effective ability to dissolve organic matter and necrotic tissue; while chlorhexidine shows substantivity and antimicrobial residual activity when used as an irrigating substance.

Besides that, MTA Fillapex or AH Plus will be used and the recommended filling technique will be lateral condensation.

Intervention Type OTHER

Photobiomodulation

aPDT will be performed with 0.01% methylene blue solution and it will be inserted into the root canal for 5 minutes. The excess will be removed and irradiation will be performed inside the root canal with the red laser of Índio Gálio Alumínio Fósforo (660nm, Laser Duo, MMOptics, São Paulo, SP, Brazil) for 90 seconds. Laser therapy with Gallium-Aluminum-Arsenic infrared laser (808nm, Laser Duo, MMOptics, São Paulo, SP, Brazil) will be performed on the gingiva from the vestibular face and on the palatal / lingual face, both located in the periapical region for 40 seconds.

Intervention Type OTHER

Passive ultrasonic irrigation

PUI will be performed with Newtron P5 ultrasound (Satelec / Acteon Group, Bordeaux, France), at intensity 9 and with a 25mm (# 0.25, taper 0.00). The protocol of use will be 3 sequences of 20 seconds of ultrasonic activation with 2 ml of sodium hypochlorite 2.5% in each root canal.

Intervention Type OTHER

OHIP-14

Patients will respond a quality of life questionnaire (OHIP-14) on the day of endodontic treatment, on the 7th day and on the 30th day.

Intervention Type OTHER

Cryotherapy

The analysis of the postoperative symptoms will be performed by the visual analog pain scale at 1th, 2th, 3th, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 14th and 30th days and by the clinical evaluation of edema in 48 and 72 hours.
