Objective: To evaluate the clinical and radiographic success rates of 3Mix and Vitapex in the treatment of necrosed primary teeth.
Materials And Methods: Seventy teeth of healthy children aged 4-9 years with necrotic primary molar (nonvital) were treated with 3Mix (lesion sterilization tissue repair therapy) and Vitapex before restoration with stainless steel crowns. The participants were followed up clinically and radiographically for 3 months and 6 months, respectively. The outcome was compared using Fisher exact test with a significance level of < 0.05.
Results: Clinical success rate of 3Mix group at 3 months and 6 month follow-up was 100% and 97.14% and that of Vitapex group was 100% and 100%, respectively. The radiographic success rate of 3Mix group at 3 months and 6 months was 74.29% and 77.14% and of Vitapex group was 97.14% and 97.14%, respectively. Considering the clinical success, no statistical difference was found between the two groups at the end of 6 month ( = 1.000). But radiographically statistical significant difference was found between the two groups ( = 0.028).
Conclusion: Non-instrumentation endodontic treatment using 3Mix has shown a good clinical success of 97.14% but the radiographic success rate at 6 months was lower (77.14%). So it can be suggested that the use of 3Mix antibiotic treatment cannot replace conventional root canal treatment over the long term.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Chungbuk National University Hospital, Cheongju, Republic of Korea.
Background: Autologous osteochondral transplantation (AOT) is an option to treat large osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs), accompanying subchondral cyst, and previous unsuccessful bone marrow stimulation (BMS) procedures. Although there is extensive literature on the outcomes of surgical interventions for medial osteochondral lesions, research focusing on lateral lesions remains limited. This article presents the intermediate-term clinical and radiologic outcomes following AOT for lateral OLTs.
