Success Rate of Single Versus Two‐Visit Regenerative Treatment Protocol in Non‐Vital Mature Anterior Teeth (A Preliminary Randomised Clinical Trial)

This study compared the success rate following single-visit versus two-visit regenerative endodontic procedures of non-vital mature anterior teeth with periapical lesion. Thirty-two patients were randomly assigned into two groups: group A: single visit and group B: two visit. All assigned teeth were chemo-mechanically prepared. For group A, platelet rich fibrin was placed into the root canal followed by the placement of Biodentine and final restoration. For group B, calcium hydroxide was placed for 3 weeks, followed by the same regenerative procedures in the second visit. Follow-up visits were at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, and periapical lesion was assessed by CBCT at the beginning and 12 months after treatment. There was no statistical difference between the success rate of group A (28.6%) and group B (64.3%). Regenerative endodontic procedure can be a promising treatment for mature non-vital teeth with further investigations needed for the single-visit protocol.
