Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of the present study is to assess clinically and radio-graphically the regenerative potential of immature permanent teeth with necrotic pulp using blood clot and Platelet rich fibrin scaffolds.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
30 immature necrotic permanent teeth in patients will be allocated and divided into two groups. Group 1 will be treated by regenerative procedure using blood clot as a scaffold and Group 2 will be treated with regenerative procedures using combined blood clot and Platelet rich fibrin as a scaffold.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Induced blood clot scaffold
|
Biological: Blood clot scaffold
Bleeding will be induced in the canal by passing a size 30 sterile K-file 3 mm beyond the apex with the goal of having the entire canal filled with blood to the level of the cemento-enamel junction. Bleeding will be stopped just below the cemento enamel junction.
Biodentine will be placed approximately 3-4 mm below the cementoenamel junction.
|
Experimental: Induced blood clot scaffold combined with Platelet rich fibrin
|
Biological: Blood clot scaffold combined with PRF
Platelet-rich fibrin will be prepared by drawing the patient blood into a 10mL test tube without the addition of an anticoagulant. To prevent the blood from coagulating after coming in contact with the glass tube, it will be centrifuged immediately using a table top centrifuge** at 400 g force for 12 minutes. Then platelet-rich fibrin membrane will be placed into the canal space to a level 3 mm below the cemento-enamel junction using hand plugger following the induction of apical bleeding by passing a number 30 sterile hand file 3 mm beyond the apex of the tooth. Biodentine cap will be placed over the platelet-rich fibrin scaffold.
