Brief Summary

One of the most important aspects of endodontic practice is to abate pain during and post root canal treatment. An endodontist by all means should provide a painless endodontic treatment to their patients. This study is carried out to determine the effect of occlusal reduction on relief of pain and percussion in patients with irreversible pulpitis and symptomatic apical periodontitis treated in a single visit root canal treatment. Pain will be assessed preoperatively and then post operatively after completion of the root canal at 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours following obturation of root canal.

Conditions

Post Operative Pain; Post-Op Complication

Keywords

Occlusal reduction

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Post Obturation pain

  Postobturation pain is measured using the visual analogue scale(VAS) with readings from 0-10 where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents the worst pain measured.

  6 hours upto 48 hours following obturation

• Tenderness to percussion

  Tenderness to percussion will be evaluated (score 0: no pain, score 1: slight pain score 2: severe pain)

  At 48 hours post completion of the root canal treatment

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Incidence of placebo and analgesic intake

  from 6 hours up to 48 hours following completion of root canal

Study Arms (2)

occlusal reduction

EXPERIMENTAL

Performing occlusal reduction on the experimental tooth until absence of occlusal contact is confirmed following completion of the endodontic treatment

Procedure: Occlusal reduction

control

NO INTERVENTION

No occlusal reduction or modification of the occlusal anatomy will be performed

Interventions

Occlusal reduction PROCEDURE

Occlusal reduction of the experimental single rooted tooth after root canal completion will be done to evaluation reduction in postoperative pain and sensitivity to percussion

occlusal reduction
