Eligibility

Age
18 Years to No maximum

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Participants of both sexes; minimum age of 18 years; systemically healthy individuals; absence of periodontitis. Patients with chronic apical abscess; absence of pain; presence of periapical lesion; presence of sinus tract; teeth without direct pulp exposure to the oral cavity; teeth suitable for rubber dam isolation; teeth from any dental group. For the control group asymptomatic individuals; absence of carious lesions; absence of inflammatory lesions; absence of neoplastic lesions

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Presence of systemic diseases; continuous use of medications; history of chemotherapy or radiotherapy; use of antibiotics within the three months prior to sample collection; current or past smoking; ongoing orthodontic treatment; presence of periodontal disease. For the chronic apical abscess group presence of teeth with vital pulp; absence of periapical lesion; absence of sinus tract; severely destroyed crown preventing proper isolation; pulp tissue exposed to the oral cavity; history of previous endodontic treatment in the tooth of interest. For the control group presence of carious lesions; presence of inflammatory lesions; presence of neoplastic lesions

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime 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

MeasureTime 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
