NCT05620147

Brief Summary

The aim of this prospective randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of different apical size and taper preparation (35. 04; 35. 06; 45. 04 and 45. 06) on postoperative pain at 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours, and intra-canal bacterial count in patients having mandibular premolars with necrotic pulps.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Post-operative pain

    Postendodontic pain will be measured using Numerical Rating Scale. The Numerical Rating Scale consists of a 0-10 scale, with (0) meaning "no pain" and (10) meaning "the worst pain imaginable". No or mild pain response will be considered success.

    up to 72 hours after endodontic treatment

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Intra-canal bacterial reduction

    Bacterial samples will be taken Immediately after root canal instrumentation.
