About this study

Official title: Assessment of C-reactive Protein Levels in Acute Apical Abscess Due to Root Canal Infection

C-reactive protein levels of patients with acute apical abscess are evaluated before and after root canal treatment

Read the detailed description

In patients with acute apical abscess C-reactive proteins are evaluated before and after root canal treatment. In this intra-canal medications calcium hydroxide and triple antibiotic paste are compared. PAI score of the corresponding tooth is noted .

What is being measured

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

  1. Post root canal C reactive protein level

    Pre-operative serum c-reactive protein level was measured to which the post operative c-reactive protein level after 2 weeks of root canal treatment are compared.

    The normal serum c-reactive protein level is 0 - 6.00 mg/L.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. pain and swelling assessment

    pain and swelling reduction after root canal treatment is assessed. . Pain is evaluated using visual analgue scale (VAS) , regarding swellling reduction patient is asked to evaluate subjectively whether the patient profile has returned to normal after the treatment and they were asked how many days it took for the swelling to resolve completely.

    Measured: 6 months

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Post root canal C reactive protein level (time frame: 2 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
