Brief summary

The aim of this study is to compare the clinical effect of traditional root canal disinfection and aPDT on root canal disinfection. And provide the reference for clinical application and experience.

Detailed description

The study of groups: Group1: Calcium hydroxide-based antibacterial dressing - two session root canal treatment Group2: aPDT - one session root canal treatment Microbiological measurement. Filled with sterile PBS, the root canals were sampled immediately before and after the disinfection procedures.

Interventions

tooth was isolated using a rubber dam in order to avoid the outside microbe

DEVICEaPDT

Inject the photosensitizer (PS)to the parallel orifice of the canal,use the small file to stir the PS for 60 s,then irradiation 120 s.

DRUG1% iodine tincture

use 1% iodine tincture to disinfect the crown of the teeth.in order to avoid the outside microbe

DRUG2.5%NaClO

use 2.5% NaClO as irrigants

mechanical preparation with NITIMTWO to 25#06, and cleaned with 5 ml of 2.5% NaClO between each endodontic file. At the end of the procedure, root canals were ultrasonic irrigated with 2.5% NaClO, 17% EDTA for 1 min followed by irrigation with 0.9% normal saline to remove the smear layer

PROCEDUREroot canal obturation

filled the canals with AH-Plus sealer and Gutta-percha by vertical condensation
