Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: To provide a reference basis for clinical selection of a reasonable and effective root canal treatment by comparing the short-term clinical efficacy of three root canal filling methods in the treatment of chronic periapical inflammation. METHODS: One hundred and twenty patients with chronic periapical inflammation who received root canal filling between October 2019 and October 2020 were randomly divided into 3 groups, with 40 patients in each group. All patients received root canal filling, group A was filled with iRoot SP paste by matched-taper single cone obturation technique, group B was filled with AH-plus paste by warm vertical condensation, and group C filled with AH-plus paste by cold lateral condensation. Root canal filling time in the three groups was calculated, pain score 24 h after treatment was determined using visual analogue scale/score(VAS), and periapical index(PAI) was used to evaluate radiographs. SPSS 22.0 statistical software was applied for data analysis. RESULTS： Root canal filling times in the three groups were (75.50±7.44) s in group A, (85.38±3.46) s in group B and (102.33±3.32) s in group C, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05); the incidence of postoperative pain in the three groups was 25% in group A, 25% in group B and 32.5% in group C, the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05). There was no significant difference between group A and group B, but significant difference existed between group A, group B and group C. The results of comparison of PAI scores showed a time effect was F=498.93, P<0.001, suggesting significant difference in total PAI scores at different time points; a group effect was F=0.91, P=0.406, suggesting no significant difference in total PAI scores of the 3 groups; an interaction effect of time and group was F=0.44, P=0.777, suggesting that there was no significant difference in total PAI scores of the 3 groups at the time points. The total effective rate at 3 and 12 months was 97.5%, 97.3% in group A, 97.5%, 97.2% in group B and 90%, 91.9% in group C, the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Compared with the other 2 root canal filling methods, the iROOT SP paste matched-taper single cone obturation technique is clinically effective in terms of time saving and increasing the comfort of the patients' visit.
