Overview
The recovery of periapical defects linked to periodontal communication frequently yields less satisfactory results. Numerous studies and case reports have highlighted the notable success achieved through the application of guided tissue regeneration techniques. More recently, autologous platelet concentrate plug \& placental membrane have emerged as a treatment option for addressing such lesions. Nevertheless, there has been no study using PRF-Medium with ACM membrane on the healing of aforesaid lesion \& quality of life assessment.
Description
RESEARCH QUESTION (PICO) Does the combined application of PRF-Medium plug and ACM membrane lead to superior healing outcomes compared to conventional technique in treating apico-marginal defects with interproximal involvement? AIM \&OBJECTIVES: - AIM To assess whether the combined application of PRF-Medium and ACM membrane leads to improved healing outcomes and enhanced quality of life compared to conventional techniques in patients of apico-marinal defects with interproximal involvement. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
- To evaluate the impact of combined application of PRF-Medium and ACM membrane on healing outcomes in cases of apico-marginal defects with interproximal involvement with 2D periapical radiographs \& 3D CBCT imaging. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE
- To evaluate and compare differences in quality of life of patients after periapical surgery with use of PRF-Medium and ACM membrane in cases of apico-marginal defects with interproximal involvement. PICO P(Population)- Patients with non-vital teeth and persistant chronic suppurative apical periodontitis with apico-marginal defects and interproximal involvement. I(Intervention)-Endodontic surgery followed by placement of PRF-Medium plug and ACM membrane. C(Comparison)-Endodontic surgery without using any plug and membrane. O(Outcome)- Periapical healing after surgery in both groups.
