ABSTRACT
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of calcium hydroxide and triple antibiotic paste as intracanal medication on the interappointment pain at 8, 24, and 48 hours postoperatively in patients with symptomatic apical periodontitis undergoing multiple visit root canal treatment. Material and Methods: Two hundred and seven systemically healthy patients under the age group of 18-45 years with mandibular molars presenting with symptomatic apical periodontitis which require root canal treatments were included in this study. After access cavity preparation, cleaning and shaping was done till ISO 25 size file, and the patients were randomized into three groups (each group of 69 samples). Group I: no medicament, group II: calcium hydroxide and group III: triple antibiotic paste (TAP). Postoperative pain was evaluated at 8 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours. Results: The results showed that at 8 hours, 24hours and 48hours, there was a statistical difference between I and III (p < 0.05); and Group III and Group II (p < 0.05). Within the group, there was a statistical difference at all time points IN Group I and II (p < 0.05) except between 24 hours and 48 hours in the Group III (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, TAP was more effective than calcium hydroxide in relieving pain and reducing the analgesic intake at the first 24hours.(AU)

Objetivo: Presentar la terapia regenerativa como una al- ternativa para la resolución de un caso de traumatismo denta- rio en un diente permanente incompletamente desarrollado. Caso clínico: Se realizó el tratamiento de un incisivo central superior con mortificación pulpar y periodontitis api- cal aguda subsecuente a trauma dental en un paciente de 8 años de edad. Se aplicó el protocolo de regeneración pulpar recomendado por la Asociación Americana de Endodoncia. Se estimuló la formación de un coágulo en el interior del con- ducto a partir de los tejidos periapicales, previa desinfección con la pasta triple antibiótica, y finalmente se colocó mineral trióxido agregado coronal a este. Se obtuvo así una matriz es- teril que permitió el crecimiento de nuevo tejido y se realiza- ron controles periódicos durante 4 años. Se constató silencio clínico. Radiográficamente, se observó la formación de tejido sobre las paredes del conducto y el cierre apical. Conclusión: La terapia regenerativa como alternativa de tratamiento, en este caso, permitió la disminución de la luz del conducto por el depósito de tejidos calcificados y el cierre del foramen apical, mejorando el pronóstico de la pieza dentaria (AU)
Aim: To present pulp regeneration therapy as an alter- native to resolve dental trauma in immature permanent teeth. Clinical case: We report a clinical case of an immature central superior incisor with pulp mortification and acute api- cal periodontitis subsequent to dental trauma, in an 8 year old patient. The pulp Regeneration protocol recommended by the American Endodontics Association was applied. We stimulated a clot formation inside the duct from periapical tissues and after disinfection with a mixture of three antibi- otics mineral trioxide aggregated was finally place coronal to the clot. Thus a sterile matrix was obtained that allowed new tissue's growth. Periodic check-up visits were carried out over a 4 years period. Clinical silence was observed. Tissue formation on duct walls and apical closure were radiograph- ically detected (AU) Conclusion: Regenerative therapy is an alternative for the treatment of immature permanent teeth, in ths clinical case it allowed the reduction of the width of the duct by the opposition of hard tissues and the closure of the apical fora- men improving the forecast of these teeth.

Objective: To compare the antibacterial effect and short-term clinical effect of new triple antibiotic paste (ornidazole, ciprofloxacin and minocycline) used alone and in combination with calcium hydroxide paste against Enterococcus faecalis in root canal retreatment. Methods: A total of 149 single rooted teeth with failed endodontic treatment were selected in the present study. The samples were randomly divided into 5 groups: calcium hydroxide paste group (CH group), triple antibiotic paste (metronidazole, ciprofloxacin and minocycline) group (TAP group), new triple antibiotic paste group (NTAP group), the combination group of calcium hydroxide paste and new triple antibiotic paste (CH+NTAP group), and camphor phenol group (CP group). After removal of the root-flling material, the quantities of Enterococcus faecalis in the root canals were determined before and after root canal preparation and 7 d after root dressing. The short-term clinical effects were evaluated 7 d after root dressing in each group. Results: After root canal preparation and root dressing of 7 d, the quantities of Enterococcus faecalis in root canals in each group were significantly decreased versus before root canal preparation (all P0.05). Conclusion: Calcium hydroxide paste and triple antibiotic paste alone or in combination have better antibacterial effect for root canal disinfection against Enterococcus faecalis in root canal retreatment. They also have better short-term clinical effect, especially the new triple antibiotic paste, which can be considered as an effective alternative intracanal medicament and is worthy of clinical application.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to assess coronal discoloration induced by the following intracanal medicaments: calcium hydroxide (CH), a mixture of CH paste and chlorhexidine gel (CH/CHX), and triple antibiotic paste (3Mix). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventy extracted single-canal teeth were selected. Access cavities were prepared and each canal was instrumented with a rotary ProTaper system. The specimens were randomly assigned to CH, CH/CHX, and 3Mix paste experimental groups (n = 20 each) or a control group (n = 10). Each experimental group was randomly divided into 2 subgroups (A and B). In subgroup A, medicaments were only applied to the root canals, while in subgroup B, the root canals were completely filled with medicaments and a cotton pellet dipped in medicament was also placed in the pulp chamber. Spectrophotometric readings were obtained from the mid-buccal surface of the tooth crowns immediately after placing the medicaments (T1) and at 1 week (T2), 1 month (T3), and 3 months (T4) after filling. The ∆E was then calculated. Data were analyzed using 2-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), 3-way ANOVA, and the Scheffé post hoc test. RESULTS: The greatest color change (ΔE) was observed at 3 months (p < 0.0001) and in 3Mix subgroup B (p = 0.0057). No significant color change occurred in the CH (p = 0.7865) or CH/CHX (p = 0.1367) groups over time, but the 3Mix group showed a significant ΔE (p = 0.0164). CONCLUSION: Intracanal medicaments may induce tooth discoloration. Use of 3Mix must be short and it must be carefully applied only to the root canals; the access cavity should be thoroughly cleaned afterwards.

Abstract This systematic review aimed to evaluate whether alternative materials to conventional triple antibiotic paste (TAP - metronidazole, ciprofloxacin, and minocycline) and grey mineral trioxide aggregate (GMTA) could avoid tooth discoloration in teeth submitted to Regenerative Endodontic Procedure (REP). It was also investigated if dental bleaching is able to reverse the color of darkened teeth due to REP. The search was conducted in four databases (Medline via PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of Science and BVS - Virtual health library), following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. The retrieved papers were uploaded in the software EndNoteTM and two reviewers independently selected the studies and extracted the data. Only studies in humans (case reports, case series, clinical trials) were included in the review. From 1,122 potentially eligible studies, 83 were selected for full-text analysis, and 38 were included in the review. The included studies were mainly case reports (76.3 %). The studies described a total of 189 teeth submitted to REP. From these, about 54% of teeth presented some degree of discoloration. Most teeth presenting color alteration were treated with TAP, especially when combined with GMTA. Only three studies performed dental bleaching to restore the color of teeth and neither bleaching technique was able to restore the original color of the crowns. The use of alternative materials to TAP and GMTA, such as double antibiotic paste or Ca(OH)2 pastes and white mineral trioxide aggregate or BiodentineTM, reduces the occurrence of tooth discoloration.
Resumo Esta revisão sistemática teve como objetivo avaliar se materiais alternativos à pasta tri-antibiótica convencional (TAP, em Inglês - metronidazol, ciprofloxacina e minociclina) e ao agregado trióxido mineral cinza (MTA cinza) poderiam evitar a descoloração dentária em dentes submetidos ao procedimento endodôntico regenerativo (REP, em Inglês). Também foi investigado se o clareamento dental é capaz de reverter a cor dos dentes escurecidos devido ao REP. A busca foi realizada em quatro bases de dados (Medline via PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of Science e BVS - Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde), seguindo os Principais Itens para Relatar Revisões Sistemáticas e Meta-análises. Os artigos obtidos foram carregados no software EndNoteTMe dois revisores independentes selecionaram os estudos e extraíram os dados. Apenas estudos em humanos (relatos de casos, séries de casos, ensaios clínicos) foram incluídos na revisão. De 1.122 estudos potencialmente elegíveis, 83 foram selecionados para análise do artigo completo, e 38 foram incluídos na revisão. Os estudos incluídos foram principalmente relatos de casos (76,3%). Os estudos descreveram um total de 189 dentes submetidos ao REP. Destes, cerca de 54% dos dentes apresentaram algum grau de descoloração. A maioria dos dentes com alteração de cor foi tratada com TAP, principalmente quando combinada com MTA-cinza. Apenas três estudos realizaram o clareamento dental para restaurar a cor dos dentes e nem a técnica de clareamento conseguiu restaurar a cor original das coroas. O uso de materiais alternativos à TAP e ao MTA cinza, como a pasta bi-antibiótica, pasta de Ca(OH)2e MTA branco ou BiodentineTM, reduz a ocorrência de descoloração dentária.

This study investigated the latest findings and notions regarding ‘triple antibiotic paste’ (TAP) and its applications in dentistry, particularly endodontics. TAP is a combination of 3 antibiotics, ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, and minocycline. Despite the problems and pitfalls research pertaining to this paste has unveiled, it has been vastly used in endodontic treatments. The paste's applications vary, from vital pulp therapy to the recently introduced regeneration and revascularisation protocol. Studies have shown that the paste can eliminate the root canal microorganisms and prepare an appropriate matrix for further treatments. This combination is able to remove diverse groups of obligate and facultative gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, providing an environment for healing. In regeneration protocol cases, this allows the development, disinfection, and possible sterilization of the root canal system, so that new tissue can infiltrate and grow into the radicular area. Moreover, TAP is capable of creating a discipline in which other wanted and needed treatments can be successfully performed. In conclusion, TAP, as an antibacterial intracanal medication, has diverse uses. Nevertheless, despite its positive effects, the paste has shown drawbacks. Further research concerning the combined paste and other intracanal medications to control microbiota is a must.

Abstract Regenerative endodontic procedure (REP) has been proposed as a new approach to treat immature permanent teeth. However, materials used in REP for root canal disinfection or cervical sealing may induce tooth discoloration. Objectives To assess tooth crown’s color after intracanal treatment with triple antibiotic paste (TAP) or calcium hydroxide (CH); cervical sealing with glass ionomer cement (GIC) or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA); and bleaching with carbamide peroxide. Material and Methods After pulp removal and color spectrophotometer measurement, 50 bovine incisors were divided into 4 experimental groups and one control (untreated). Experiments were performed in phases (Ph). Ph1: TAP (ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, minocycline), TAPM (ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, amoxicillin), DAP (ciprofloxacin, metronidazole), or CH treatment groups. After 1 and 3 days (d); 1, 2, 3 weeks (w); and 1, 2, 3 and 4 months (m), color was measured and medications were removed. Ph2: GIC or MTA cervical sealing, each using half of the specimens from each group. Color was assessed after 1d, 3d; 1w, 2w, 3w; 1m and 2m. Ph3: Two bleaching sessions, each followed by color measurement. Data were analyzed with ANOVA and post-hoc Holm-Sidak method. Results Ph1: Specimens of TAP group presented higher color alteration (ΔE) mean than those of TAPM group. No significant difference was found among TAP or TAPM and CH, DAP or Control groups. Ph2: cervical sealing materials showed no influence on color alteration. Ph3: Different ΔE means (from different groups), prior to bleaching, became equivalent after one bleaching session. Conclusions TAP induces higher color alteration than TAPM; color alteration increases over time; cervical sealing material has no influence on color alteration; and, dental bleaching was able to recover, at least partially, the tooth crown’s color.

A revascularization procedure was shown to be the best alternative therapy for immature teeth with necrotic pulp and apical infection. A 12 year old female with a history of trauma to her upper central incisor and a sinus tract was referred for endodontic treatment. She was an active orthodontic patient and had undergone regenerative endodontic treatment for the past 2 years. Clinical examination revealed no response to sensibility, percussion, and palpation tests. The preoperative radiograph showed an open apex and apical rarefaction. The case was diagnosed as previously treated tooth with asymptomatic apical periodontitis. Regenerative endodontic retreatment was performed, and the case was followed for 3 years. Clinical, radiographic, and cone-beam computed tomography follow-up examination revealed an asymptomatic tooth, with evidence of periapical healing and root maturation.

To compare the degree of pigmentation in coronal extracted premolars after applying bi-antibiotic and tri-antibiotic pastes. Method: Intentional non-probability sampling. A total of 30 healthy premolars which were extracted for orthodontic reasons and met the inclusion criteria were divided into 2 experimental groups and a control group of 10 teeth each. Group I (G1) was treated with bi-antibiotic paste, group II (G2) with tri- antibiotic paste; and group III or control (G3) was treated with saline solution. Two observers previously calibrated took the initial color sample from each tooth by giving them a value corresponding to the shade guide. After access opening and instrumentation, all teeth received the appropriate medication and color records were taken under the same initial light conditions for 30 days after the procedure. The obtained data were compiled into Excel for further descriptive and inferential analysis with SPSS 19.0. ANOVA test was used with a confidence level of 95 percent. Results: The degree of pigmentation was 1+/-0.9 in G1, 12.2+/-1.2 in G2 and 0.9+/-0.8 in G3. No statistically significant differences were found between G1 and G3 (p=0.8086), but there was between G1 and G2 (p<0.001), and G2 and G3 (p<0.001). Conclusion: The degree of pigmentation with tri-antibiotic paste was higher than the degree of pigmentation with bi-antibiotic paste used as temporary medication. No difference was found between the degree of pigmentation in the group treated with bi-antibiotic and the control group treated with saline solution. Bi-antibiotic paste did not show pigmentation in the crown of the extracted premolars...

A recent treatment option for non-vital immature teeth in young patients is revascularization with triple antibiotic paste (TAP). However, tooth discoloration was reported with the use of conventional minocycline-containing TAP. In this case report, amoxicillin-containing TAP was used for revascularization of non-vital immature teeth to prevent tooth discoloration. At the 1 yr follow up, the teeth were asymptomatic on clinical examination and showed slight discoloration of the crown due to mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) filling rather than amoxicillin-containing TAP. Radiographic examination revealed complete resolution of the periapical radiolucency, and closed apex with obvious periodontal ligament space. However, the root growth was limited, and the treatment outcome was more like apexification rather than revascularization. These results may be due to unstable blood clot formation which could not resist the condensation force of MTA filling, whether or not a collagen matrix was in place. These cases showed that although revascularization was not successful, apexification could be expected, resulting in the resolution of the periapical radiolucency and the closure of the apex. Therefore, it is worthwhile attempting revascularization of non-vital immature teeth in young patients.

OBJECTIVES: This study was performed to investigate the effects of different intracanal medicaments on chemical structure and microhardness of dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty human dentin discs were obtained from intact third molars and randomly assigned into two control groups and three treatment groups. The first control group received no treatment. The second control group (no medicament group) was irrigated with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), stored in humid environment for four weeks and then irrigated with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The three treatment groups were irrigated with NaOCl, treated for four weeks with either 1 g/mL triple antibiotic paste (TAP), 1 mg/mL methylcellulose-based triple antibiotic paste (DTAP), or calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] and finally irrigated with EDTA. After treatment, one half of each dentin disc was subjected to Vickers microhardness (n = 10 per group) and the other half was used to evaluate the chemical structure (phosphate/amide I ratio) of treated dentin utilizing attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (n = 5 per group). One-way ANOVA followed by Fisher's least significant difference were used for statistical analyses. RESULTS: Dentin discs treated with different intracanal medicaments and those treated with NaOCl + EDTA showed significant reduction in microhardness (p < 0.0001) and phosphate/amide I ratio (p < 0.05) compared to no treatment control dentin. Furthermore, dentin discs treated with TAP had significantly lower microhardness (p < 0.0001) and phosphate/amide I ratio (p < 0.0001) compared to all other groups. CONCLUSIONS: The use of DTAP or Ca(OH)2 medicaments during endodontic regeneration may cause significantly less microhardness reduction and superficial demineralization of dentin compared to the use of TAP.

En la presente investigación pretendemos optimizar los resultados, evitando la coloración coronal, en procedimientos odontológicos donde sea imprescindible el uso de tetraciclinas así como evaluar la disminución de las coloraciones coronales, al aplicar un antioxidante (Acido Ascórbico) en dientes tratados con tetraciclinas (Minociclina y Doxiciclina). Estudio experimental de investigación básica, de tipo ensayo clínico. En los dientes tratados con minociclina y doxiciclina observamos cambios en la coloración dentaria apreciables tanto en corona como en la raíz, mientras que en los grupos dentarios donde se añadió el antioxidante (ácido ascórbico) a la tetraciclina no se obtuvo esa tinción. La adición de ácido ascórbico a minociclina y doxiciclina provoca que la tinción dentaria no se produzca o que se vea significativamente reducid a.
In this research we want to optimize the results, avoiding the coronal coloring, in dental procedures in where the use of tetracyclines is essential as well as evaluating the reduction of coronal discoloration, by applying an antioxidant (ascorbic acid) in the teeth treated with tetracyclines (minocycline and doxycycline). Experimental study of basic research, clinical trial type. Results: In the teeth treated with minocycline and doxycycline we observed changes in the coloration of the teeth both in crown and in the root, while in the tooth groups in which the antioxidant was added to tetracycline we observed that no staining was obtained. The addition of Ascorbic acid to minoclynine and doxyclycline causes that dental stain will not occur or be significant reduced.

Numerous cases about additional growth of roots or pulp tissue regeneration by using various intracanal medicaments in immature permanent teeth with periapical or pulpal disease have been reported. The underlying mechanism has not been clearly delineated, but it has been widely accepted that undifferentiated mesenchymal cells and stem cells are involved. Moreover, the growth and deposition of osteoid or cementoid tissues have been observed in regenerated pulp and roots. This new and non-invasive treatment has brightened the future of endodontics, and enlarged the vision of regenerative root canal treatment with multi-potent stem cells and various tissue engineering techniques.

An important requirement for endodontic paste with antibiotics placed in direct contact with living tissues is biocompatibility. The aim of this study was to evaluate the paste biocompatibility prepared with zinc oxide (1.25mg), tetracycline (8mg) and thiamphenicol (26.67mg). The paste and its components were implanted separately through polyethylene sterile tubes of 10mm in length and 1.3mm in diameter, in the subcutaneous tissue of rats with the experiment control at intervals of 3, 7, 15 and 30 days. Each day 6 rats were used, being 3 of them with implant of the substances in four sites placed on the back of the animals and 3 sham animals where it was implanted the polyethylene empty tubes. The experimental animals were anesthetized in an intra-peritoneal way with ketamina and xilazina (0.75ml / g body weight). After the experimental periods, the animals were anesthetized with the same anesthetic overdose. It was held an excision biopsy of the implant area with 10 mm to the security limit included in paraffin following a plan of random histological cut and uniformlyisotropic or oriented cuts according to stereological principles, getting a statistical estimative of the relative amount of inflammatory cells or not on the test system, getting as a result the paste biocompatibility, being the zinc oxide the most toxic element for the cell quality found.

Cada día, 6 ratas fueron implantadas en cuatro sitios ubicados en la parte posterior de los animales, 3 de ellas con el implante de las sustancias y 3 fueron implantados con los tubos de polietileno vacíos. Los animales del experimento fueron anestesiados intraperitteonealmen, con ketamina y xilasina (0,75 ml/g peso corporal). Después de los periodos experimentales, los animales fueron anestesiados con la misma sobredosis anestésica. Fue realizada una biopsia exisional del área del implante con 10 mm de límite de seguridad, luego se realizaron cortes histológico al azar uniformemente isotrópicos o orientados según los principios esteriológicos, consiguiendo un estimativo estadístico de la cantidad relativa de células inflamatorias en el sistema de prueba. Se obtuvieron resultados de la biocompatibilidad de la pasta, siendo el óxido del zinc el elemento mas tóxico según la cualidad de las células que fueron encontradas.
