About this study
Official title: One and Two-visit Root Canal Retreatment in Teeth With Periapical Lesion
A hundred previously root canal treated asymptomatic single-rooted teeth with periapical lesions were treated in single versus multiple visit root canal retreatment. Half of the teeth were randomly assigned to the one-visit (OV) group. The other teeth were treated in two visits (TV). All patients were recalled and investigated clinically and radiographically for 24 months.
Read the detailed description
The aim of the study was to evaluate the radiographic evidence of periapical healing in previously root canal treated teeth with apical periodontitis treated in a single visit and to compare the results with conventional two-visit root canal treatment .100 asymptomatic single rooted teeth with periapical lesions were included. The root canal filling material was removed and reinstrumentation was performed using hand files with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 5% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as irrigants. Half of the teeth were randomly assigned to the one-visit (OV) group. The other teeth were treated in two visits (TV), after completion of root canal instrumentation calcium hydroxide paste was placed into the root canal and root canal obturation was performed in second visit. All patients were recalled and investigated clinically and radiographically for 24 months. Changes in apical bone density indicating radiographic healing were evaluated.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
One visit root canal retreatmentOther
The teeth were treated in one-visit (OV) root canal retreatment. Final root canal irrigation was performed with 5% EDTA, followed by 2.5% NaOCl and received an additional final rinse with 2% CHX before obturation
Two visit root canal retreatmentOther
The teeth were treated in two visit (TV) root canal retreatment. After completion of root canal instrumentation, calcium hydroxide (CH) paste was placed into the root canal. In second visit, all root canals were irrigated with 5% EDTA followed by 2.5% NaOCl before obturation.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The presence or absence of clinical symptoms in clinical examination
All patients were called for follow up visits. The evaluation was performed by clinical examination. Clinical symptoms including presence of pain, tenderness to percussion and palpation, presence of sinus tract or swelling was detected and recorded as present or absent. If one of these symptoms recorded as present, it is considered as failure. If there is no symptom, it is considered as success.
Measured: 24 months
The rate of radiographic healing of the periapical lesion.
Follow-up visits were performed for all patients in order to evaluate radiographic status. Changes in apical bone density indicating radiographic healing was assessed using Periapical Index (PAI) (Orstavik 1986) as the scoring system. PAI 1 and 2 considered as healed, reduction in the PAI score was considered as healing and persistence or increased in the PAI score (PAI 4 or 5) was considered as failure.
Measured: 24 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
The level of postoperative pain
Postoperative pain after 12, 24 and 48 hours, was measured using a modified 4-grade visual analogue scale (VAS) ranging from 1 (no pain), 2 (mild pain), 3 (moderate pain/pain relieved by analgesics), to 4 (severe pain).
Measured: 12hours-24hours and 48 hours

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
The presence or absence of clinical symptoms in clinical examination (time frame: 24 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05137613, which also lists 3 linked publications.
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.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Nov 2021.
