About
The aim of this study was to highlight the healing rates of large periapical lesions after different irrigation activation treatments as manual dynamic activation (MDA), passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), shock wave-enhanced emission photoacoustic streaming (SWEEPS) using CBCT scans based on volumetric change analysis during 1-year follow-up.

The aim of this study was to highlight the healing rates of large periapical lesions after different irrigation activation treatments as manual dynamic activation (MDA), passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), shock wave-enhanced emission photoacoustic streaming (SWEEPS) using CBCT scans based on volumetric change analysis during 1-year follow-up.
A total of 56 systemically healthy male/female patients with mandibular single-rooted teeth with a periapical index score (PAI) of 3 or higher were included in the study. Pretreatment lesion volumes were determined by CBCT. Patients were randomly divided into 3 study groups (PUI, SWEEPS, MDA) and control group (n=14). For the follow-up routine, 2D radiographs were taken at months 3, 6, and 9, as well as clinical examinations. At the end of 12 months, 3D evaluation of lesion volumes was performed using ITK SNAP. Pretreatment and follow-up values were statistically analyzed with the Wilcoxon test.
