About this study

Official title: Acess the Clinical Effect of Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) on Root Canal Disinfection

The aim of this study is to compare the clinical effect of traditional root canal disinfection and aPDT on root canal disinfection. And provide the reference for clinical application and experience.

Read the detailed description

The study of groups:

Group1: Calcium hydroxide-based antibacterial dressing - two session root canal treatment Group2: aPDT - one session root canal treatment Microbiological measurement. Filled with sterile PBS, the root canals were sampled immediately before and after the disinfection procedures.

Being tested
Rubber dam isolation, aPDT, 1% iodine tincture, 2.5%NaClO, root canal preparation
Keywords
Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Rubber dam isolationProcedure or surgery

    tooth was isolated using a rubber dam in order to avoid the outside microbe

  • aPDTDevice

    Also called PADPLUS

    Inject the photosensitizer (PS)to the parallel orifice of the canal,use the small file to stir the PS for 60 s,then irradiation 120 s.

  • 1% iodine tinctureDrug

    use 1% iodine tincture to disinfect the crown of the teeth.in order to avoid the outside microbe

  • 2.5%NaClODrug

    Also called sodium hypochlorite

    use 2.5% NaClO as irrigants

  • root canal preparationProcedure or surgery

    mechanical preparation with NITIMTWO to 25#06, and cleaned with 5 ml of 2.5% NaClO between each endodontic file. At the end of the procedure, root canals were ultrasonic irrigated with 2.5% NaClO, 17% EDTA for 1 min followed by irrigation with 0.9% normal saline to remove the smear layer

  • root canal obturationProcedure or surgery

    filled the canals with AH-Plus sealer and Gutta-percha by vertical condensation

Control groupExperimentalRubber dam isolation, tooth disinfection,acess to the pulp of the chamber, microbiological sample with two sterile paper points, then mechanical preparation with NITIMTWO to 25#06, and cleaned with 5 ml of 2.5% NaClO between each endodontic file. At the end of the procedure, root canals were ultrasonic irrigated with 2.5% NaClO, 17% EDTA for 1 min followed by irrigation with 0.9% normal saline to remove the smear layer, then take the sample again, drying the canal and fill the canal with a commercial calcium hydroxide-based paste. After 2 weeks, the canals were filled with AH-Plus sealer and Gutta-percha by vertical condensation. The teeth were take crown restoration. Follow up at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Quantification of bacteria by colony counting

    Quantification the total bacteria

    Measured: 2 days after the sample taken

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. tooth pain

    patient subjected sensation and doctor remark the symptoms after clinical examination

    Measured: 1 week and 3, 6, 12, 24 months after treatment

  2. change of the lesion

    take X ray, measure the lesion and compare to post-treatment

    Measured: 3, 6, 12, 24 months after treatment
