Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18-40 with type II diabetes and permanent mature maxillary anterior teeth with a baseline periapical lesion (PAI ≥3).
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without the specified tooth condition or with excluded health factors may not see benefit from this intervention.

What this trial studies
This trial tests a novel nanoparticle disinfection protocol added to standard endodontic cleaning. It targets adults with type II diabetes who have mature maxillary front teeth and a baseline periapical lesion. The study aims to see if the nanoparticle approach can improve infection control in hard-to-reach canal areas and reduce post-treatment pain. The protocol builds on existing irrigants like NaOCl and EDTA by introducing Chitosan Nanoparticles as an antimicrobial and anti-biofilm agent. Outcomes will focus on safety and preliminary effectiveness in this specific dental setting.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience less post-treatment pain and better infection control after root canal therapy.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research suggests nanoparticles can disrupt dental biofilms, but clinical efficacy in this exact protocol is still being explored.
