NCT03559140

Brief Summary

The goal of this research was to relate the occurrence of post-endodontic pain after single-visit RCT using there irrigating regime. Methodology: All 216 patients had upper or lower molar, premolar or anterior teeth selected for conventional RCT for prosthetic reasons detected with only vital pulps. Of the sample of 216 teeth, were selected to just one method for instrumentation and different manner to irrigate. All instruments were used with a micro motor (VDW, Munich Germany). Reciproc instruments. Final irrigation with cold (8oC, 2.5 oC and room temperature 17% EDTA and saline solution served as a lubricants.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Evaluate the post-endodontic pain after 24 hrs,48 and 72 hrs.

    Post-endodontic pain was evaluated after root canal treatment in order to identify in 216 patients: none, mild or severe pain.

    24 hours to 72 hours

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Evaluate the effect of intracanal cryotherapy on post-endodontic pain after root canal treatment.

    24 hours to 72 hours

Study Arms (3)

Group A

EXPERIMENTAL

The R25 (size 25/ .08) instrument was used in thin and curved root canals, and R40 files (40/ .06) were used in wide root canals. Three in-and-out pecking motions were used with an amplitude of not more than 3 mm until reaching the estimated working length. After the procedure cryotherapy will be applied as follows: Patients assigned to this group receive a final irrigation (application of cryotherapy) with 5 mL cold (2.5oC) 17% EDTA followed with 20 mL cold (2.5oC) sterile saline solution delivered to the WL using a cold (2.5oC) sterile microcannula attached to the Endo Vac System (Kerr Endo) for 5 minutes

Procedure: Applied saline solution at 8oC (Cryotherapy )

Group B

EXPERIMENTAL

Canals were prepared as in group A, Patients assigned to this group receive (application of criotherapy) A final irrigation will be applied with 5 mL cold (2.5oC) 17% EDTA followed with 20 mL cold (2.5oC) sterile saline solution delivered to the WL using a cold (2.5oC) sterile microcannula attached to the Endo Vac System (Kerr Endo) for 5 minutes. was applied. as follows: Patients assigned to this group receive a final irrigation (application of cryotherapy) with 5 mL cold (2.5oC) 17% EDTA followed with 20 mL cold (2.5oC) sterile saline solution delivered to the WL using a cold (2.5oC) sterile microcannula attached to the Endo Vac System (Kerr Endo) for 5 minutes

Procedure: Applied saline solution at 2.5 oC (Cryotherapy group)

Control Group (CG)

EXPERIMENTAL

The R25 (size 25/ .08) instrument was used in thin and curved root canals, and R40 files (40/ .06) were used in wide root canals. Three in-and-out pecking motions were used with an amplitude of not more than 3 mm until reaching the estimated working length. Reciproc instruments were used in one tooth only (single use). The group will receive the irrigant solution at room temperature. as follows: they will receive a final irrigation ( application of irrigant at room temperature) with 5 mL (room temperature) 17% EDTA followed with 20 mL (room temperature) sterile saline solution delivered to the WL using a sterile microcannula attached to the Endo Vac System (Kerr Endo) for 5 minutes.

Procedure: Applied saline solution at room temperature (No cryotherapy)

Interventions

Patients assigned to this group will receive a final irrigation (application of cryotherapy) with 5 mL cold (8oC) 17% EDTA followed with 20 mL cold (8oC) sterile saline solution delivered to the WL using a cold (8oC) sterile microcannula attached to the Endo Vac System (Kerr Endo) for 5 minutes.

Group B

Patients assigned to this group receive a final irrigation (application of cryotherapy) with 5 mL cold (2.5oC) 17% EDTA followed with 20 mL cold (2.5oC) sterile saline solution delivered to the WL using a cold (2.5oC) sterile microcannula attached to the Endo Vac System (Kerr Endo) for 5 minutes.

Group A

Patients assigned to this control group were treated identically to the experimental groups, except that they will receive a final irrigation ( application of irrigant at room temperature) with 5 mL (room temperature) 17% EDTA followed with 20 mL (room temperature) sterile saline solution delivered to the WL using a sterile microcannula attached to the Endo Vac System (Kerr Endo) for 5 minutes.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 65 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • absence of radiographic sign of apical periodontitis and a diagnosis of irreversible pulpitis (IP) established by affirmative response to hot and cold examinations.
  • Thermal pulp examination was achieved by the corresponding author, and radiographic analysis was established by 3 certified endodontists.
  • Clinical requirements were established on the next conditions: 1) The purposes and necessities of the research were spontaneously accepted. 2) Clinical Management was pointed to patients in physical and mental well- being. 3) All teeth had vital pulps and absence of apical periodontitis. 4) Positive thermal stimulation with EndoIce (Hygenic Corp, Akron, OH). 5) Teeth with enough coronal structure for rubber dam isolation. 6) No RCT done before the research. 7) No painkillers or antibiotics used 7 days' prior the clinical events started
