Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of the single-point filling technique combined with the novel bioceramic material iRoot BP Plus in the treatment of chronic apical periodontitis.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 87 patients with chronic apical periodontitis treated at Wujin Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from March 2022 to June 2023. The patients were divided into two groups based on treatment methods: the observation group (44 cases) and the control group (43 cases). The control group received treatment with AH Plus and vertical condensation of gutta-percha, while the observation group was treated with iRoot BP Plus combined with the single-point filling technique. The following were compared between the two groups: emergency response severity, clinical efficacy, chewing function, gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) serological markers, treatment satisfaction, and incidence of complications.Results The observation group showed better emergency response severity levels compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Clinical efficacy was also superior in the observation group (P < 0.05). The changes in chewing force and efficiency before and after surgery were greater in the observation group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Additionally, the observation group had higher levels of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) in GCF before and after surgery compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Satisfaction with guidance, medical environment, rehabilitation, and medical services was higher in the observation group (P < 0.05). The incidence of complications was lower in the observation group compared to the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusion The single-point filling technique combined with novel bioceramic iRoot BP Plus demonstrates significant clinical efficacy in treating chronic apical periodontitis. It reduces emergency response severity and gingival crevicular fluid inflammation, balances growth factors, improves chewing function, enhances treatment satisfaction, and lowers the risk of complications.
