Brief Summary

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

Aims: The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to assess and compare the post operative pain, swelling and quality of life after endodontic microsurgery using either conventional osteotomy or piezoelectric osteotomy . The PICO question that will be used is Does endodontic microsurgery using piezoelectric osteotomy have similar clinical performance in terms of post operative pain and swelling to that of endodontic microsurgery using conventional hand-piece osteotomy.

Material and methods:

based on solid inclusion criteria , a total of 44 patients in need of endodontic microsurgery will be randomly distributed into two groups (n=22) according to the osteotomy technique: conventional and piezoelectric osteotomy. A standardized microsurgical technique will be employed. After the microsurgery procedure, a pain questionnaire that contain visual analogue scale will be given to each patient to evaluate the pain incidence and intensity at 5 time intervals, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours and 120 hours. The patients will be recalled as well, at days 2 and 7 to evaluate the swelling. Statistical analysis will be performed using chi-square test and linear regression analysis.

Detailed Description

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

This randomized prospective clinical study will be conducted at the postgraduate clinics, Department of Conservative Dentistry, at Jordan University of Science and Technology.

Ethical approval will be sought from the JUST Institutional ethics and human Research Board (IRB) committee.

Sample size and randomization A total of 44 adult patients will be recruited for this clinical trial. Participants will be randomly allocated to one of the two treatment modalities. Randomization will be carried out by sealed envelope online software.

For the observational part of the study, no randomization or blinding will be applied. Patients will be treated free of charge and their travel expenses will be compensated for all follow up visits.

Preoperative management :

Clinical and radiographic assessment :

\- The patient demographic information, chief complaint and history of the chief complaint, medical and dental history will be registered. A thorough extra-oral and intra-oral examination will be undertaken (an existing swelling , sinus tracts, quality of coronal restoration margins and its history, occlusal relations, gingival biotype , any gingival recession and periodontal assessment ) will be registered .

Percussion and palpating tests will be applied. Pre-operative parallel Digital view will be obtained using film holder showing the entire lesion and at least 2 mm beyond it. Limited view cone beam computed tomography scan of the diseased tooth will be obtained for each patient preoperatively (SFV).

Root length and axis, Lesion size and features, bone crest level and any radiographic abnormality will be interpreted and registered.

All patients will receive periodontal scaling a week or two before the surgery. Surgical procedure Prior to surgery , patients will be asked to rinse their mouth with chlorhexidine 0.12% . After which, local anesthesia containing epinephrine will be given. The surgical flap design and procedure will be selected as per case deem , and the flap will be elevated gently and retracted.

The Root apex will be located and osteotomy will be applied. The resected root will be rinsed , dried and and stained with 1% methylene blue dye after which , it will be inspected carefully under high magnification, to identify possible reasons for the non surgical root canal treatment failure. Subsequently, ultrasonic apical preparation will be performed. After achieving adequate haemostasis with Epinephrine pellets (Gingi-Pak , California state , USA),Biodentine retrograde filling material will be placed. The flap will be re-approximated and interrupted suture using non-absorbable monofilament size 5-0 suture will be applied. Finally, Post-operative parallel Digital view will be obtained using film holder showing the entire lesion and at least 2 mm beyond it.

Post-operative management :

Immediately after the microsurgery the patients will be asked to apply cold ice packs on the surgical site for 20 mins at the clinic, during this time the post-operative instructions will be given .

Piezo endodontic surgery

The osteotomy will be applied under magnification with a surgical operating microscope (at the apical third of the root .Osteotomy will be done with the Piezosurgery touch

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Endodontic Microsurgery

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Osteotomy will be done either with air motor high speed hand-piece and round bur with copious irrigation or with Piezosurgery touch. After the soft tissue curettage and uncovering the root apex , the last 3 mm of the root apex will be resected perpendicular to the long axis of the tooth at ( 0 - 10) degree bevel , using either conventional dental hand-piece or piezotome (Piezotome Cube by ACTEON ).The resected root will be rinsed , dried and and stained with 1% methylene blue dye after which , it will be inspected carefully under high magnification, to identify possible reasons for the non surgical root canal treatment failure. Subsequently, ultrasonic apical preparation will be performed. After achieving adequate haemostasis with Epinephrine pellets. Biodentine®retrograde filling material will be placed. The flap will be re-approximated and interrupted suture using non-absorbable monofilament size 5-0 suture will be applied. Finally, Post-operative parallel Digital view.
