No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This prospective observational cohort study will evaluate whether changes in gingival crevicular fluid osteoprotegerin (OPG) , RANKL/OPG ratio ,IL10,IL8and CxCL10 after primary nonsurgical root canal treatment are associated with 12-month radiographic healing in teeth with asymptomatic apical periodontitis. Participants will undergo standardized treatment and follow-up with serial GCF sampling and standardized digital periapical radiography.

Conditions

  • Pulp and Periapical Tissue Disease

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Primary Nonsurgical Root Canal Treatment

Standardized primary nonsurgical root canal treatment will be performed in teeth diagnosed with asymptomatic apical periodontitis under rubber dam isolation. The procedure includes access cavity preparation, working length determination, chemomechanical canal preparation, irrigation using sodium hypochlorite solution, obturation of the root canal system, and placement of a coronal restoration according to standard endodontic protocols.
