A New Approach for Controlling Hemostasis During Canal Treatment: a Randomized Controlled Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating HybenX and Placebo control for Blood Contamination of Root Canal During Endodontic Therapy. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The persistence of blood may significantly affect final sealing with the persistence of microleakage (Zmener et al. 2008, Roggendorf et al. 2007). In cases of copious bleeding from root canals, calcium hydroxide, anesthetic solution with 1:50,000 epinephrine or ferric sulfate placed on a sterile paper cone, are recognized as effective hemostatic agents (Magnusson 1971, Kouri et al. 1969, Dannenberg 1974). The purpose of this study was to test the reduction of root canal bleeding in terms of significant percentage change for millimeters of blood in the canal at 2 different time points (baseline and after treatment with HybenX )
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The material was introduced inside the root canal using the pre-dosed syringe for 20 seconds with a sterile paper point with and up and down movement up to the working length. Finally, the canal was rinsed with sterile water using a syringe with a side-vented 30 G needle 1 mm shorter than the working length. A second sterile paper point was introduced in the root canal, up to the working length, for 10 seconds to detect the presence of blood and the millimeters of blood inside the root canal was measured again according the previous criteria.
The root canal was irrigated with sterile saline water with a syringe and a side-vented 30G needle activated for 20 seconds with a sterile paper point with and up and down movement up to the working length to ensure a flow of irrigant solution throughout the canal. Finally, the canal was rinsed with sterile water using a syringe with a side-vented 30 G needle 1 mm shorter than the working length. A second sterile paper point was introduced in the root canal, up to the working length, for 10 seconds to detect the presence of blood and the millimeters of blood inside the root canal was measured again according the previous criteria.
