What this trial studies

This clinical trial examines how various filling techniques impact the healing of teeth affected by apical cysts. It focuses on non-surgical endodontic treatment aimed at eliminating microorganisms from the root canal system and creating a barrier to prevent further infection. The study will compare retrograde and orthograde root canal filling methods to determine which is more effective in promoting healing in periapical lesions. Participants will undergo treatment and be monitored for healing outcomes.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are healthy individuals aged 18 to 65 with single-rooted teeth exhibiting periapical lesions larger than 1 cm.

Not a fit: Patients with systemic diseases, severely damaged teeth, or contraindications for surgical procedures may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve healing rates in patients with apical cysts, leading to better dental health outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on various filling techniques, this specific approach focusing on apical cysts and comparing retrograde and orthograde methods is relatively novel.
