ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the application value of calcium hydroxide agent in root canal disinfection of patients with chronic periapical periodontitis in stomatology department.Methods 108 cases patients with chronic periapical periodontitis from June 2013 to June 2014 in Cixi Guanhaiwei Zhen Health Centers were randomly divided into study group (n =54) and control group (n=54).The control group received camphor phenol cotton for root canal disinfection, and study group received calcium hydroxide agent.The clinical curative effect between two groups was compared.Results After 7 days’ treatment, the total effective rate was 98.15%in study group, which was significantly higher than 79.63%in control group (χ2 =9.375,P<0.05).After follow up 6 months, the total effective rate was 94.44%in study group, which was significantly higher than 77.78%in control group (χ2 =6.271,P<0.05).The incidence of endodontic interappointment pain (EIP) in study group was 11.11%, which was significantly lower than 25.93%of control group (χ2 =3.93,P<0.05).Conclusion Calcium hydroxide agent has a significant efficacy on in root canal disinfection of patients with chronic periapical periodontitis in stomatology department, could reduce the incidence of EIP and promote healing of chronic periapical periodontitis, which is the first disinfectant in the stomatology department of primary hospital.
