About this study

Official title: Endodontic-periodontal Disease - Comparison of Treatment Outcome Using Conventional and Hydraulic Calcium Silicate Sealer With or Without LPRF and Characterisation of Host-microbiome Interaction

The endodontic periodontal-disease is characterized by the involvement of the pulp and periodontal disease in the same tooth. The anatomic connections between the dental pulp and the periodontium provide a pathway for perio-endo communication via apical foramina, lateral canals, exposed dentinal tubules, and developmental grooves. These pathways provide an egress for pulpal disease to affect the periodontium and conversely, an ingress for periodontal disease to affect the pulp.

Teeth with endo-perio disease, which are deemed salvageable might require root canal (endodontic) treatment, followed by staged periodontal treatment. Compared to conventional sealers used for endodontic treatment, the hydraulic calcium silicate based sealers (HCSB)s have excellent sealing ability, biocompatibility, regeneration ability, and antimicrobial characteristics. However little is known about its clinical benefits when used to treat endo-perio disease.

The gold standard treatment for periodontitis affected teeth associated with intrabony lesions is guided tissue regeneration (GTR) which has significant improved clinical outcomes over open flap debridement (Cochrane systematic review 2005). However, the success the of this regenerative technique requires careful case and defect selection. We propose the use of an autologous bioactive scaffold, leukocyte platelet rich fibrin (L-PRF) to achieve regeneration of periodontal soft and hard tissues, resulting in faster healing, greater bone infill and improved predictability of clinical outcomes

Read the detailed description

Primary periodontal /secondary endodontic lesions and true combined lesions is challenging since the outcome of these is significantly less predictable than that of those arising due to primary endo disease and require multidisciplinary management involving endodontic treatment in the form of root canal treatment followed by staged periodontal treatment.

This includes initial non-surgical periodontal therapy to reduce the microbiologic burden in the periodontal pocket. After a 3-to-6 month period following the completion of endodontic treatment, the apical healing is evaluated and the periodontal condition reassessed and then the decision is made for periodontal regenerative therapies to promote the formation of new cementum, periodontal ligament, and bone to achieve esthetic and hygienic goals. These regenerative therapies include tissue engineering techniques, such as guided tissue regeneration (GTR); implantation of enamel protein matrix derivatives; application of signalling molecules, such as growth factors, and leucocyte- platelet rich fibrin (L-PRF). Without concomitant regenerative procedures, success ranges from 27% to 37%. When regenerative procedures are added to endodontic therapy, the chance of a successful outcome improves to 77.5%.

L-PRF is obtained through the centrifugation of blood resulting in a strong fibrin matrix enriched with platelets and growth factors. Previous evidence suggest that this can be successfully used in the treatment of intrabony defects, but no randomised controlled trial has been conducted examining the additional benefits of L-PRF when used in conjunction with GTR in the treatment of intrabony defects associated with endodontic-periodontal disease.

The investigators have previously also investigated the microbiome of endodontic infections using targeted 16SrRNA gene and house-keeping gene sequence analysis, we determined the predominant cultivable microbiota of primary and secondary (failed) Endodontic infections. The investigators have lately investigated the microbiome of root canal infections using next generation sequencing targeting region V1-V2 of 16SrRNA gene (unpublished data). The investigators are also currently investigating the host microbiome interactions in these conditions. Although Endodontic periodontal disease differ in pathogenicity but they do share common microbial factors and inflammatory mediators.
