This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial effects of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) in vitro, and to assess the clinical and radiographic outcomes of using advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF+) and i-PRF in regenerative endodontic treatment of mature permanent teeth with necrotic pulp. The study will compare the effectiveness of PRF-based treatment with conventional blood clot-based regenerative endodontics.
This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial effects of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) in vitro, and to assess the clinical and radiographic outcomes of using advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF+) and i-PRF in regenerative endodontic treatment of mature permanent teeth (single-rooted teeth with necrotic pulp, with or without periapical pathology). The study will compare the effectiveness of PRF-based treatment with conventional blood clot-based regenerative endodontics.

After obtaining informed consent, the study will be conducted over 2 appointments, 2-4 weeks apart. The first appointment will focus on infection control and inflammation reduction. The canal will be instrumented with a single-file system. The canal will be then irrigated sequentially with 3% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), saline, and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) to ensure thorough disinfection. Finally, a temporary filling of Glass Ionomer Cement will be placed over an intracanal dressing of calcium hydroxide. At the second appointment, the final treatment will be performed based on the patient's group: Control Group - Blood clot method for regenerative endodontics. Experimental Group 1 - Regenerative endodontics using advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF+). Experimental Group 2 - Regenerative endodontics using injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF). All three groups will be then sealed with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and a final composite resin filling.

Clinical assessment
* Clinical success: Absence of all the following symptoms (swelling, sinus tract, pain on percussion/bite, tooth mobility, and positive pulp sensibility). * Clinical failure: Presence of any one of the above symptoms.
Time frame: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months.
Radiographic assessment
* Radiographic success: Absence or reduction of periapical pathology, measured by change in lesion size on periapical radiographs/CBCT. * Radiographic failure: Persistence or progression of periapical pathology, measured by change in lesion size on periapical radiographs/CBCT.
Time frame: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months
