PERIAPICAL PERIODONTITIS

This study tested a less invasive method called LSTR, which uses an antibiotic paste to clean infected baby molars, against the standard pulpectomy (like a root canal). 110 children aged 4 to 10 took part, and their teeth were checked for healing over 12 months. The goal was to s…

This study tested three different materials (blood clot, platelet-rich fibrin, and concentrated growth factor) combined with two types of rinses to help regrow root tissue in 30 immature permanent teeth with dead nerves. Participants aged 9 to 25 were followed for 12 months using…

This study looked at five different methods for cleaning infected root canals in 132 people with large tooth infections. The goal was to see which technique helps the infection heal best by reducing the size of the infection site on X-rays. The methods included manual cleaning, u…

This study tested a more precise dental surgery for people with persistent root infections after standard treatment. Using a 3D-printed guide, surgeons aimed to remove infected tissue more accurately, reduce surgery time, and improve quality of life. The trial involved 70 adults …

This study looked at 185 people to compare inflammation markers in those with tooth infections (apical periodontitis), gum disease (chronic periodontitis), and healthy gums. Researchers measured substances like TNF-α and PGE2 in blood and gum fluid. The goal was to better underst…
