Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are patients aged 16 and older with non-vital teeth and chronic apical periodontitis involving apico-marginal defects.

Probably not a fit

Patients with vertical root fractures, root perforations, or those classified as ASA-3 or ASA-4 will 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 study investigates the effectiveness of combining PRF-Medium plug and ACM membrane in treating apico-marginal defects with interproximal involvement compared to conventional endodontic surgery techniques. It aims to assess healing outcomes using 2D periapical radiographs and 3D CBCT imaging, as well as evaluate the quality of life of patients post-surgery. The study includes patients aged 16 and above with specific dental conditions and excludes those with certain complications. The goal is to determine if the new approach leads to better recovery and improved patient satisfaction.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly enhance healing outcomes and quality of life for patients with complex dental issues.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promising results with guided tissue regeneration techniques, but this specific combination of PRF-Medium and ACM membrane is novel.
