Brief Summary

Chemomechanical preparation of the root canal system potentially results in extrusion of debris into the periradicular tissues. This debris is composed of hard tissue (dentin), soft tissue (inflamed or necrotic pulp tissues) and microbiota. Furthermore, the chemical adjuncts used during root canal disinfection may also extrude into the periradicular tissues. Extrusion of such materials results in postoperative pain, inflammation and and flare-up. There is evidence to demonstrate that most instrumentation techniques cause extrusion of debris, and that, severity of the inflammatory response depends on the amount of debris extrusion. Several factors may influence the debris extrusion during root canal preparation, including the instrument design, technique of use and irrigating agent used during preparation.Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is the most commonly used root canal irrigant during root canal treatment. However, its cytotoxic effects when extruded into the periapical tissues is an issue of clinical concern. Thus, there has been a search for more biocompatible irrigants. One potential option, which has not been explored in detail, is the use of NaOCl, but in a gel form rather than a solution. NaOCl gel has similar effects on the dentin, as the solution form. Interestingly, greater dentinal tubule penetration depth has been reported for the gel form, compared to the solution. Previous studies have evaluated the effect of preparation techniques, the number of appointments and intracranial medicaments on postoperative pain during Endodontics treatment. There is no study evaluating the effect of different irritant type on PP. Therefore, this study will be evaluated the effect of different irritant type (gel or solution form of NaOCI) on postoperative pain.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • VAS scala

    PP will be assessed with a VAS after endodontic treatment. The VAS consisted of a 100-mm hor- izontal ruler with marks every 10 mm and no numbers except a 0 at the first part of the scale and a 10 in the last part of the scale.

    up to 7 days

Study Arms (2)

5.25% NaOCl solution

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

5.25% NaOCl solution will be used as irrigation solution at every file change during root canal preperation

Other: Irrigant typeDrug: 5.25% NaOCl

5.25% Cloraxid gel/ distilled water

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

5.25% Cloraxid gel/ distilled water will be used as irrigation solution at every file change during root canal preperation

Drug: 5.25% Cloraxid gel/ distilled water

Interventions

The success of endodontic treatment is directly related to infection control. In successful endodontic treatment, it is necessary to perform an ideal irrigation both in order to gain a better understanding of the complex anatomical structure of the root canals and to increase the efficiency of the instruments and methods used during the canal preparation. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) solution is the standard irrigation agent for cleaning and disinfection of root canal. In this study, the effect of NaOCI on postoperative pain using different uniforms will be evaluated.
