Summary

The aim of the present study is to assess with PA x-rays and CBCT scans the volumetric changes in periapical radiolucencies in endodontically treated teeth 1 year after endodontic treatment and evaluate how well the lateral canals are filled after irrigation with the new generation of negative irrigation pressure unit with and without the ultrasonic irrigation.

Conditions

  • Root Canal Infection

Interventions

DEVICE

Irrigation Technique 1

Irrigation of root canals for this group will be performed using EndoVac Pure, an Apical Negative Pressure Endodontic Irrigation System intended for the delivery and evacuation of endodontic irrigation solutions during root canal procedures. The Endovac Pure is a negative pressure system that utilizes negative pressure irrigation so irrigants are suctioned apically from the pulp chamber to the apical terminus and then through the dental office High Volume Evacuation (HVE) valve (Hi-VAC) system. Endovac Pure is designed to be used with Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl or bleach) and EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid). This will be followed by Ultrasonic activation of the sodium hypochlorite solution using Minendo II ultrasonic unit.

DEVICE

Irrigation Technique 2

Irrigation of root canals for this group will be performed using the EndoVac pure system without Ultrasonic irrigation. The Endovac Pure is a negative pressure system that utilizes negative pressure irrigation so irrigants are suctioned apically from the pulp chamber to the apical terminus and then through the dental office High Volume Evacuation (HVE) valve (Hi-VAC) system. Endovac Pure is designed to be used with Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl or bleach) and EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid).
