Abstract

Objective: To review the treatment results of patients with periapical periodontitis (VQCMT) treated at National Hospital of Odonto - Stomatology of Ha Noi from April 2020 to April 2021. Subject and method: Clinical intervention study on 60 patients with 60 teeth with periapical periodontitis divided into 2 groups. Group I were irrigated with 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) combined with 3% sodium hypochlorite, group II were irrigated with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) 3%. Result: Percentage of successfully treated teeth after 1 week, after 6 months and after 12 months in group I were 93.33%, 86.67% and 93.10%. Percentage of successfully treated teeth of group II at the corresponding follow-up times were 90.00%; 83.67%, 89.66%. Percentage of successfully treated teeth after 1 year of treating periapical periodontitis with apical lesions ≤ 5mm: Group I (100%), group II (95.24%), percentage of successfully treated teeth after 1 year with apical lesions > 5mm: Group I (77.78%), group II (75%). Conclusion: Using a 2% CHX solution in the root canal irrigation process brings better treatment results than using only 3% NaOCl.
