About

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the incidence of postoperative pain after root canal treatment using different final irrigation protocols. Patients whom need root canal treatment for first time were included. The presence of postoperative pain was assessed after root canal treatment cases at 12, 24, 48, 72 hrs and 1 week.

Full description

The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the intensity and duration of postoperative pain following different final irrigation procedures. Patients who have asymptomaticdevital teeth required endodontic treatment were included in this study and routine root canal treatment procedure was applied to these teeth. All of the patients have been recruited from the Istanbul Medipol University Dental Clinics in Istanbul. Ninety asymptomatic teeth were randomly participated into 3 treatment groups in terms of intracanal medicament applied. The presence of postoperative pain was assessed after 12, 24, 48, 72 hrs and 1 week. Postoperative pain was recorded by each patient by using visual analogue pain scale. Before the treatments, the nature of the study, complications and associated risks were totally explained and written informed consent was obtained from all study participants. The patients were offered local anesthetic before the treatment start. The routine root canal treatment procedure was applied. Different final irrigation solutions applied in accordance to the manufacturers' instructions. At the end of treatment, each patient was given an evaluation sheet, explained the treatment procedure and using of visual analogue pain scales, and informed to be returned during the following one week. After one week the teeth was examined according to for pain intensity, percussion & palpation sensitivity, swelling, analgesic intake and clinical status.
