Summary

The study examines the impact of advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) on bone regeneration in apical surgery compared to standard methods. It highlights the effectiveness of ultrasound as a diagnostic tool for assessing periapical lesions. Eligible participants were adults with specific periapical lesions following root canal treatment failures. Exclusions included patients outside specific criteria, like those with advanced periodontal disease or undergoing orthodontic treatment. Participants were randomized into two groups: one receiving A-PRF to enhance bone regeneration and a control group without it. Both groups underwent apical surgery under magnification, with different postoperative protocols. The study involved radiological and ultrasonographic evaluations of lesion size and bone healing at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months, alongside blood analyses for Vitamin D and cholesterol level to assess their potential impact on healing.

Conditions

• Periapical Lesions

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Apical surgery procedure using A-PRF	Participants will undergo an apical surgery procedure using A-PRF. Before the surgery and at follow-ups, patients will undergo comprehensive evaluation using clinical, radiological, and ultrasonographic techniques.
PROCEDURE	Apical surgery without using A-PRF	Participants will undergo an apical surgery procedure without using A-PRF. Patients will undergo comprehensive evaluation before the surgery and at follow-ups using clinical, radiological, and ultrasonographic techniques.
