Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In saliva, variation in the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, nitrite, total antioxidant capacity, and uric acid, measured at baseline (active disease) and at follow-up (1 month) after endodontic treatment, comparing individuals in the control group and patients with chronic apical abscess at baseline, as well as patients with chronic apical abscess at baseline and at follow-up | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In saliva, variation in unstimulated salivary flow rate, buffering capacity, pH, calcium, phosphate, chloride, total protein, alkaline phosphatase, total acid phosphatase, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, and transaminases, measured at baseline (active disease) and at follow-up (1 month) after endodontic treatment, comparing individuals in the control group and patients with chronic apical abscess at baseline, as well as patients with chronic apical abscess at baseline and at follow-up | — |
