Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary outcome consisted of clinical symptoms and radiographic symptoms. For clinical criteria, the evaluation included pulp sensibility tests,spontaneous pain, mobility, sinus tract formation, and performing palpation and percussion tests. For radiographic criteria included detecting any radiolucency at the periapical or furcation areas, assessing for pathological changes like internal and external resorption, checking for periodontal ligament widening, and monitoring dentin bridge formation.Timepoint: 3 months, 6 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame

For radiographic criteria included detecting any radiolucency at the periapical or furcation areas, assessing for pathological changes like internal & external resorption, checking for periodontal ligament widening, & monitoring dentin bridge formation.Timepoint: 3 months, 6 months & 12 months
