Introduction- In this study teeth with apical periodontitis underwent non surgical endodontic treatment. Method- Fourty patients with permanent maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth with primary apical periodontitis with periapical index of 4 or 5 were selected. The patients were divided into four groups, depending on the type of intracanal medicament that is calcium hydroxide, TAP, Chlorhexidine gel and Propolis. Each case was treated in four weekly appointments with change of intracanal medicament. The patients were called for follow-up at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Radiographs were taken and observed and healing was judged by the periapical index (PAI). Results- At the end of 6 months teeth treated with TAP showed significantly enhanced healing, followed by calcium hydroxide. At end of 9 months triple antibiotic paste showed statistically significant difference in healing than with chlorhexidine and propolis. Conclusion- All inflammatory periapical lesions should be initially treated non surgically to eradicate the root canal microbes.
Key words- Primary apical periodontitis, periapical index, intracanal medicament.
