Assessment of Masseter Muscle With Ultrasonography
Sponsor: Harran University
Summary
In teeth that remain decayed for a long time, the muscles in that area atrophy because the patient cannot use the decayed area much. As a result, muscle length and mass decrease. To compare the amount of this reduction before and after treatment with ultrasound and to treat accordingly
Official title: Evaluation of the Effect of Acute Apical Periodontitis on Masseter Muscle With Elastography: A Case-control Study

Interventions
Patients who have not antibiotic treatment for acute apical periodontitis in the last month and have not taken any anti-inflammatory medication in the past 24 hours.
Patients with acute apical periodontitis will first have masseter muscle measurements in the relevant area and then the decayed tooth will be treated with calcium hydroxide for 14 days. Then the dressing will be applied with calcium hydroxide again. At the end of 28 days, the patient will be measured again by ultrasonography and the initial and final data will be compared.
patients who have not acute apical periodontitis
Masseter measurements will be made from day 1 to day 28 in healthy subjects without acute apical periodontitis.
