SP-60 Preliminary Analysis of Microbiological Data in a Clinical Trial of Regenerative Endodontic Treatment
CE: 0
Course Description:
Residual bacteria have been shown to influence regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) in animal models. Recently, a multi-centered clinical trial of RET was funded by the Foundation for Endodontics, and conducted in four dental schools. Microbiological samples at different stages of treatment were obtained from all patients, and analyzed using contemporary molecular methods. This presentation will address the preliminary microbiological findings in immature teeth with pulp necrosis, the effectiveness of various clinical disinfection and medication protocols, and the differences in microbiological findings in cases with and without clinical success of treatment.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Provide current recommendations for disinfection protocols in RET.
- Explain about contemporary microbiological analyses of complex microbiota of the necrotic pulp in immature teeth.
- Describe the association of residual bacteria and preliminary outcome of RET.
