Sealbio: A Novel, Non-Obturation Endodontic Treatment
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 11
Abstract
SealBio is a novel and innovative endodontic treatment protocol based on the regenerative concept for the treatment of pulpal and periapical involved mature teeth. The basis for success of an endodontic treatment is to remove all the causative debris, bacteria and their by products. Experiments in the past have shown that there was no difference in the healing of apical periodontitis with or without obturation if the root canals were thoroughly cleaned and debrided. This article reports and discusses the treatment of a non vital mature toothby this novel approach to achieve an apical seal with biological tissues rather than plugging the canal space with root canal obturating materials. Apical clearing, apical foramen widening and overinstrumentation into periapical region were done to induce bleeding near apical foramen. The clot formed at the apex provides a scaffold into which locally residing stem cells gets seeded and the healing process initiate. A seven month follow up reveals that the novel treatment protocol was found to be favourable in resolving periapical infection, both clinically and radiographically. SealBio was found to be a successful nonobturation endodontic treatment which highlights the importance of cleaning and shaping and possibility of healing after non-surgical endodontic therapy.
