Maximum Occlusal Bite Force of Necrotic Permanent Teeth Treated by Regenerative Technique: Randomized Clinical Trial

Further investigation is warranted to ascertain whether the regaining of sensibility and nerve function in regenerated teeth leads to the re-establishment of the proprioceptive protective mechanism inherent in vital teeth. Hence, the primary objective of this prospective randomized clinical trial is to conduct a comparative analysis of the potential effects of pulp revascularization in comparison to conventional endodontic treatments, either RCT or apexification on the Maximum occlusal bite force (MBF) in both immature and mature necrotic permanent teeth. Methods: Upon satisfying the predetermined criteria for inclusion, a total of 184 patients will be recruited for this prospective clinical trial. The study will consist of two groups, specifically Group I: Mature teeth and Group II: Immature teeth, with a sample size of 92 participants in each group. The participants will be assigned randomly to one of the two treatment modalities per group. Group I: will undergo treatment with RCT/revascularization, while Group II will receive MTA plug/revascularization encompassing both mature (n=92) and immature teeth (n=92). MBF will be measured on the selected necrotic teeth prior to clinical intervention, this measurement will be conducted using a portable occlusal force gauge (GM10). Following the completion of therapy, MBF measurements will be repeated at 6 and 12 months to assess long-term outcomes. Subsequently, the collected data will undergo comprehensive analysis.
