Aim: The purpose of this prospective in vivo study was\nto evaluate the healing status observed after endodontic treatment performed with foraminal cleaning\nin mandibular molars with apical periodontitis. Materials and Method: Fifty mandibular molars were\nselected and instrumented with ProDesign Logic files. First, mechanized patency was performed with a\n25\/0.01 instrument; if it was easily achieved, a larger diameter instrument was chosen (30\/0.01, 35\/0.01, or\n40\/0.01) that best matched the apical foramen. Then, a respective shaping file corresponding to the patency\nfile was selected for instrumentation. Irrigation was carried out with saline solution and 2% chlorhexidine\ngel. A 17% EDTA solution was used for the final irrigation and agitated with the EasyClean system. A\ndevice was used to standardize the initial, final, and subsequent digital radiographic examinations for the\nfollow-up. A 3-level scoring system was used for evaluation, in which score 1 indicated complete lesion\nhealing, score 2 incomplete healing, and score 3 no healing. Results: There was no significant difference\nbetween the frequencies of scores 1 and 2 assigned at the two assessment time points (p &gt; 0.05). Complete\nhealing (score 1) was observed in 58%, incomplete healing (score 2) in 42%, and no healing (score 3) in\n0% of cases. Conclusion: The endodontic preparation protocol followed by foraminal cleaning favored\nthe healing process in teeth with apical periodontitis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.54589\/aol.37\/3\/203","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,2]],"date-time":"2025-03-02T16:07:01Z","timestamp":1740931621000},"page":"203-209","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Twelve-month healing rates after endodontic therapy with foraminal cleaning using 2% chlorhexidine in mandibular molars diagnosed with apical periodontitis: a prospective clinical study"],"prefix":"10.54589","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7854-2630","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cassiano N","family":"Almeida","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2675-0884","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos E","family":"da Siveira Bueno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3320-9172","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexandre","family":"Sigrist De Martin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2868-6839","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos E","family":"Fontana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2971-0906","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Augusto S","family":"Kato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4633-720X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Grasiela","family":"Limoeiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4201-4710","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wayne M","family":"Nascimento","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2917-5934","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00edlia FV","family":"Marceliano-Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6360-5678","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ricardo","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4175-2121","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rina A","family":"Pelegrine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"31696","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"container-title":["Acta Odontol\u00f3gica Latinoamericana"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,2]],"date-time":"2025-03-02T16:07:03Z","timestamp":1740931623000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/actaodontologicalat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/aol_2024_37_3_203.pdf"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.54589\/aol.37\/3\/203","relation":{},"ISSN":["1852-4834"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1852-4834","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024]]}}}
