Summary

Aim of the present study was to determine the intraradicular microbiota of previously root canal-treated teeth with apical periodontitis using droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) and to investigate the antibacterial effectiveness of different irrigation activation methods \[ XP-endo Finisher and EndoActivator \] that will make classical chemomechanical preparation more effective. This superiority, parallel, randomized clinical trial was conducted in the clinic of the Endodontic Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Istanbul Medipol University, Istanbul. 20 patients with posttreatment apical periodontitis (one tooth each) were randomly allocated into two groups according to the used (n=10, for each): the EA group (A) or the XPF group (B). Total bacterial loads, as well as the amount of Enterococcus faecalis (E.faecalis) were determined before (S1) and after (S2) chemomechanical preparation and finally, after intracanal medication (S3) by means of ddPCR.

Conditions

  • Periapical Periodontitis
  • Polymerase Chain Reaction
  • Enterococcus Faecalis Infection
  • Irrigation Activation

Interventions

OTHER

XP-endo Finisher to use irrigation activation

XPF : The canals were flushed with 2.5 mL 2.5% NaOCl for 30 s and activated by a XPF instrument that was placed in the canal to 1 mm short of the WL and powered by the motor at 800 rpm (1 N-cm torque) for 30 s according to the manufacturer's instructions. Then the canals were rinsed with 2.5 mL of 2.5% NaOCl, followed by activation of the substance with the XPF instrument for 30 seconds, the same way as above. A new XP-endo Finisher file was used for each canal.

OTHER

EndoActivator to use irrigation activation

The root canals were irrigated with 2.5 mL of 2.5% NaOCl for 30 s, followed by sonic activation of this solution with EndoActivator red tip size #25/0.04, inserted into the root canal 1 mm short of the WL, at 10,000 cpm/min. for 30 seconds. The EA polymer tip moved vertically from apical to coronal part of the canal during activation.
