Brief Summary

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

The study design is a multicentric randomized controlled non-inferiority trial. 160 subjects (teeth) requiring a primary or a secondary root canal treatment will be enrolled in 2 groups (80 in each group). The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy rate and the safety 2 years after root canal obturation undertaken using a ready-to-use calcium silicate sealer (PA1704) compared to the control calcium silicate sealer BioRoot™ RCS.

Procedures of root canal treatment will be conventional and standardized for all investigational centers. The canals will be cleaned, shaped and then obturated using a calcium silicate sealer (the ready to use sealer PA1704 or BioRoot™ RCS) with a single cone technique or cold lateral condensation of gutta-percha. Follow-up assessments will be conducted at 6, 12 and 24 months in both groups. The performance and safety of the sealer PA1704 will also be evaluated at 3.5 and 5 years after surgery. Retroalveolar radiographs will be taken at each study visit. The preoperative, postoperative and follow-up clinical and radiographic data will be analyzed.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Study subject (tooth) will be randomized in a 1:1 allocation ratio between the 2 treatment groups; the allocation will be stratified by the endodontic indication, i.e. primary or secondary root canal treatment, to enhance balance.
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors
Blinding will be done to the assessors who analyzed radiographs to reduce bias to healing assessment.
