Abstract
Objective: This study aims to examine the effects of endodontic therapy with/without formocresol on periodontal pocket flora in primary periodontal secondary endodontic lesions.Study design: A total of 12 patients with clinically and radiologically diagnosed periodontal-endodontic lesions were enrolled to the study. Periodontal pathologic pockets of the patients were sampled as 36 aliquots using Gracey curettes, before the initiation of the root canal therapy (RCT), before the second session in which the RCT was continued and, again, before the third session in which the RCT was continued, by one-week intervals. During the RCT, steril cotton was put in the pulp chamber in the first session and formocresol-impregnated cotton pellet was put in the pulp chamber in the second session. Quantitative values of Fusobacterium nucleatum, Campylobacter rectus, Tannerella Forsythia, Provetella intermedia, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Aggregatibacter actinomicescomitans were examined using Polymerase Chain Reaction methodology. Results: In the samples obtained during the therapeutic sessions, no statistically significant difference was observed for the changes seen in the number of microorganisms (p>0.05). Conclusion: The procedures of RCT and the use of formocresol had no short-term effect on the number of periodontopathogens present in periodontal pocket flora.
Özet
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı primer periodontal sekonder endodontik lezyonlarda formokrezol kullanarak/kullanmadan yapılan endodontik tedavinin periodontal cep florası üzerine etkilerinin değerlendirilmesidir. Materyal ve Metodlar: Çalışmaya klinik ve radyolojik olarak periodontal endodontik lezyonu bulunan 12 hasta dahil edilmiştir. Hastaların periodontal patolojik ceplerinden kök kanal tedavisi (KKT) öncesi, ikinci seans öncesi ve üçüncü seans öncesi, bir hafta aralıklarla olmak üzere gracey küretler yardımıyla plak örnekleri alındı. KKT sırasında ilk seansta pulpa odası boş bırakılırken ikinci seansta pulpa odasına formokrezol emdirilmiş pamuk pelet yerleştirildi. Alınan örneklerde Fusobacterium nucleatum, Campylobacter rectus, Tannerella Forsythia, Provetella intermedia, Porpyhromonas gingivalis, Aggregatibacter actinomicescomitans Polymerase Chain Reaction yöntemiyle değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Tedavi süresince elde edilen örneklerde mikroroganizmalar açısından hiçbir fark bulunmadı (p>0.05). Sonuç: KKT işlemleri ve formokrezol kullanımı kısa dönemde periodontal cep florasına etki etmemektedir.
