NCT04310254

Brief Summary

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change from Baseline in Postoperative Pain after Root Cana Treatment at 1 week.

    The primary outcome measure of the study was to assess if different intracanal medicaments and single-visit root canal treatment influence the occurrence of postoperative pain.Postoperative pain was assessed using a well defined Heft-Parker visual analogue scale (VAS) scale. Each patient recorded the pain level on a 100-mm VAS scale experimental basis for revising the graphic rating scale for pain in well-defined categories at 5 time intervals as 12, 24, 48, 72 hours and 1 week after treatment. The VAS scale was divided into 4 categories: No pain or faint pain corresponded to 0 mm. Mild pain was defined as greater than 0 mm and less than or equal to 25 mm. Mild pain included the descriptors of weak and mild pain. Moderate pain was defined as greater than 50 mm and less than 75 mm. Intense pain was defined as equal to or greater than 75 mm. Intense pain included the descriptors of strong, severe, and maximum possible.

    Baseline, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours and 1 week.

Interventions

The teeth in this group were treated according to the guidelines for root canal treatment in single-session. The filling was removed and cavity was opened. After standart irrigation protocol, root canals were irrigated with Qmix 2in1 solution and obturated with gutta percha. Coronal restoration was complete using composite and/or fully crown if necessary.
