2D and 3D radiographic outcome assessment of the effect of guided tissue regeneration using resorbable collagen membrane in the healing of through-and-through periapical lesions - A randomized controlled trial.
International Endodontic Journal 2019 Februrary 14
AIM: To evaluate the effect of collagen membrane on the healing of through-and-through periapical lesions using 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) imaging techniques.
METHODOLOGY: Thirty two patients with periapical radiolucencies measuring at least 10mm and with confirmed loss of buccal and lingual cortical plates were randomly divided into GTR and control groups. Periapical surgery was performed in both groups, using a resorbable collagen membrane in GTR group only. 2D healing was evaluated according to Molven's criteria, while 3D healing was assessed using modified PENN 3D criteria, RAC indices and B index, 12 months after surgery. Data were analyzed using Chi-square, Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon signed rank tests.
RESULTS: Thirty patients were analyzed at the end of the 12 months follow-up. Both groups had a significant reduction in the size of lesions [92 ± 12% (control) and 86 ± 14% (GTR) in 2D and 85 ± 19% (Control) and 82 ± 13% (GTR) in 3D], with no significant difference between both the groups (P>0.05). 29(14 control, 15 GTR) teeth and 26(13 control, 13 GTR) teeth were classified as success according to Molven's(2D) and modified PENN 3D criteria, respectively, with no significant difference in success between 2D and 3D assessment. RAC indices of 3D images revealed the greatest percentage of complete healing in R scores (55% for Control, 41% for GTR) whereas cortical plate had the lowest percentage of healing (30% for Control, 27% for GTR) (P>0.05). Only 2 (13%) patients in each group had complete healing using the B index.
CONCLUSION: Periapical surgery with or without GTR is a predictable and viable solution for through-and-through lesions. There was no benefit in using a collagen membrane with regard to the outcome of periapical surgery in through-and-through lesions. Both cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and periapical radiographs (PA) allowed similar assessment of healing after periapical surgery. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
