Apical Periodontitis
Conditions
Brief summary
A randomized control trial which aim to compare the healing potential for the following treatment options for mature teeth with apical periodontitis: Group I: Conventional root canal treatment (CRT) Group II: Regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) using a blood clot scaffold Group III: RET using a blood clot scaffold loaded with recombinant human BMPs (rhBMPs)
Interventions
conventional root canal treatment with obturation
Regeneration using induction of bleeding
RET using a blood clot scaffold loaded with recombinant human BMPs (rhBMPs)
