About this trial
The goal of this \[randomized clinical trial\] is to evaluate the treatment outcome by assessing clinical and radiographic outcomes.
The main question it aims to answer is

Participants will be asked to have clinical and radiographic evaluation for evaluating the outcome every year after treatment.
