Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is aimed at comparing the effectiveness of Mechanical and Chemomechanical methods for removal of Intracanal medication. Water-based Calcium hydroxide is used as an Intracanal medicament in this study. Participants aged 18 years and above presenting to the Outpatient department of Operative dentistry and Endodontics, School of Dentistry, Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Medical University, Islamabad diagnosed with Necrotic Pulp with Chronic Apical Periodontitis will be randomly allocated in two groups A and B. On first visit, Root canal treatment will be initiated under rubber dam isolation. After locating canals, periapical radiograph for the working length will be taken. After working length has been confirmed, canal preparation will be done using Rotary file system. After canal has been prepared till working length, intracanal medicament is placed using Lentulospiral. Patient is recalled after 2 weeks. On next visit, Calcium hydroxide medicament will be removed by Mechanical method from group A. Mechanical method involves the use of Rotary file system for removal of medicament. In group B, Calcium hydroxide will be removed by using Chemomechanical method. Chemomechanical method involves the use of Sonic or Ultrasonic activation of irrigants for removal of medicament. After the removal of intracanal medicament, Periodical radiograph will be taken. Data will be taken on proforma and evaluation will be done for the effective removal of calcium hydroxide using a 4- point scoring system.

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This is a Parallel type, Non-random Consecutive Sampling Technique. Patients reporting to the Department of Operative Dentistry \& Endodontics, School of Dentistry with Necrotic teeth will be filtered. All participants who fulfil the Inclusion and Exclusion criteria will be enrolled in this study.

Blinding Strategy

TRIPLE

Participants Investigators Outcome Assessors

This is a triple-blinded study. Participants will be unaware of the intervention they will recieve. All interventions will be performed by Single Care Provider (Clinician). Due to the nature of intervention, care provider cannot be masked. Data collector (Investigator) and Data Analyst(Outcome Assessor) both will be blinded.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group A (Mechanical Method)

In Group A, Calcium Hydroxide Intracanal Medicament will be removed by using Mechanical Method in which Rotary Master Apical File will be used .

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mechanical Method

Intervention Type OTHER

Use of Rotary Master Apical file for the removal of Calcium Hydroxide Medicament from Root Canal System

Group B ( Chemomechanical Method)

In Group B, Calcium Hydroxide Intracanal Medicament will be removed by using Chemomechanical Method which involves Sonic Agitation of Endodontic irrigants.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Chemomechanical Method

Intervention Type OTHER
