Sonic vs Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation for Chronic Apical Periodontitis
A Randomized Controlled Trial of Endodontic Treatment Using Sonic-activated Irrigation and Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation to Evaluate Healing in Chronic Apical Periodontitis
Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University
300 participants
Dec 30, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This randomized, controlled, double-blinded clinical trial aims to directly compare the efficacy of Sonically Activated Irrigation (SAI) versus Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation (PUI) in the root canal treatment of teeth with chronic apical periodontitis, analyze potential influencing factors, and thereby identify a highly effective and safe root canal irrigation protocol. The ultimate goal is to provide an evidence-based rationale for optimizing irrigation technique selection and overall treatment strategies for chronic apical periodontitis.
