Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
40 teeth from systemically healthy patients with periapical radiolucency and without abscesses were selected, which were randomly divided into two groups of 20 each. Both groups were medicated for two weeks with triple antibiotic paste (TAP) consisting of ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, and minocycline, sealed with Teflon tape and a temporary dressing (Cavit, 3M) in the access cavity. A single endodontist did this procedure.
In control group A, the single cone obturation technique was done alone. In contrast, in trial group B, 4ml of blood was drawn into sterile, non-coated plastic PET tubes and centrifuged at 700 rpm (60 g) for 3 minutes to make I-PRF, which was injected immediately before single cone obturation. The complete procedure took an average of 2 hours. Again the same endodontist did this procedure to completion.
Preoperative radiographs and postoperative radiographs were taken for all the participants at a follow-up of 4 months using the Orstavik Periapical Index (PAI). Two endodontist observers scored the preoperative and postoperative radiographs using PAI for every patient.
