Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are children with necrotic maxillary incisors that have an open apex and evidence of chronic apical periodontitis.

Probably not a fit

Patients with systemic diseases affecting their immune status or those with unrestorable incisors may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to identify the most effective bioceramic apexification techniques for children with necrotic maxillary incisors. Participants will undergo one of three procedures: Bioceramic Putty Apical Plugs, Single Cone Gutta-percha with Bioceramic Sealer, or a Combination of both. The study will evaluate post-operative pain, periapical healing, bioceramics extrusion, and the time required for each technique. Follow-up appointments will include clinical and radiological evaluations to assess outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment options for children with necrotic immature incisors, reducing pain and enhancing healing.

How similar studies have gone: While similar techniques have been explored, this specific comparison of bioceramic apexification methods is relatively novel.
