Radiological evaluation of endodontic treatment of chronic apical periodontitis using biphasic calcium phosphate biomaterial

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the study of the efficacy of the periapical therapy of chronic periodontitis with the use of synthetic calcium-phosphate biomaterial. 30 patients aged from 22 to 56 years participated in a clinical study. Radiological evaluation was performed by radiovisiography and radiodensitometry. Follow-up examination was carried out at 3, 6 and 12 months. Densitometry indicators at the destruction site showed an increase in radiodensity from 74.2 ± 9.9 units (58.2%) to 111.9 ± 10.6 units (87.8%) after 12 months. Anterior group of teeth demonstrated statistically significant high rate of lesion compaction compared to posterior teeth.
