Radiographic Outcome of Regenerative Endodontic Treatment Using a TCP Scaffold
Keywords:
Immature, scaffold, hydroxyapatite, mineral trioxide aggregate, regenerationAbstract
The purpose of this study is to assess the radiographic outcome of the novel TCP scaffold OSTEON III Collagen in regenerative endodontic procedures. Apical periodontitis was induced in the immature dogs' teeth, followed by a revascularisation procedure. The disinfection protocol used 1.5% sodium hypochlorite irrigant, and a double antibiotic paste was applied for 15 days. In the second visit, the scaffold under investigation was placed, and a coronal seal of mineral trioxide aggregate and glass ionomer restoration was placed. Follow-up radiographs and immediate postoperative radiographs were compared. Results showed that regenerative endodontic procedure is an effective treatment option for immature teeth with apical periodontitis. Based on this study, the following recommendations are made to help with the regenerative endodontic technique: (1) Longer follow-up studies are needed in the field of pulp regeneration, (2) an Optimum disinfection protocol is a key factor for the success of the regenerative endodontic process. (3) Preserving the coronal seal throughout interappointment time and after completion of treatment.
