No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if adjuvant antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) can help in the treatment in patients with pieces with apical periodontitis and the presence of fistula, in terms of reducing symptoms, resolution of fistula and the clinical signs of inflammation at the oral mucose, as well as, evaluation radiographic parameters.

Participants will undergo conventional endodontic treatment at Group I (n=15) and will undergo conventional endodontic treatment combined with antimicrobial photodynamic therapy at Group II(n=15).

Conditions

  • Periodontitis
  • Fistula

Interventions

DEVICE

aPDT

Mechanized endodontic treatment using an endodontic rotatory device (DENTSPLY) will be used to prepare the root canals. Following, it will be applied the methylene blue solution in surfactant medium and after 1 minute a diode laser equipment (DMC THERAPY/EC, Sao Carlos, Brazil) will be used to shine light at a wavelength of 660nm, 100 mW (miliWatts) and irradiation time of 3 min. CaOH (calcium hydroxide) paste will be applied at the root canals canals as a long-term dressing for endodontic treatment..

PROCEDURE

Endodontic treatment

Mechanized endodontic treatment using an endodontic rotatory device (DENTSPLY) will be used to prepare the root canals. Following, it will be applied the methylene blue solution in surfactant medium and after 1 minute a diode laser equipment (DMC, THERAPY/EC, Sao Carlos, Brazil) will be used with an aluminium foil at the tip of the equipment to block light and use during 3 min as study group. CaOH (calcium hydroxide) will be applied at the root canals as a long-term dressing for endodontic treatment.
