Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Postoperative pain

    Pain is evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS) which is a pain rating scale. Scores are based on measures that are self-reported of symptoms that are recorded through a single handwritten mark placed at one point along the length of a 10-cm line representing a continuum between the two ends of the scale; on the left end of the scale (0 cm) means "no pain" and the on the right end of the scale (10 cm) "worst pain" Each Outcome Measure should typically only specify a single time point of assessment

    after 6 hours of endodontic treatment

  • Postoperative pain

    Pain is evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS) which is a pain rating scale. Scores are based on measures that are self-reported of symptoms that are recorded through a single handwritten mark placed at one point along the length of a 10-cm line representing a continuum between the two ends of the scale; on the left end of the scale (0 cm) means "no pain" and the on the right end of the scale (10 cm) "worst pain"

    after 12 hours of endodontic treatment

  • Postoperative pain

    Pain is evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS) which is a pain rating scale. Scores are based on measures that are self-reported of symptoms that are recorded through a single handwritten mark placed at one point along the length of a 10-cm line representing a continuum between the two ends of the scale; on the left end of the scale (0 cm) means "no pain" and the on the right end of the scale (10 cm) "worst pain"

    after 24 hours of endodontic treatment

  • Postoperative pain

    Pain is evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS) which is a pain rating scale. Scores are based on measures that are self-reported of symptoms that are recorded through a single handwritten mark placed at one point along the length of a 10-cm line representing a continuum between the two ends of the scale; on the left end of the scale (0 cm) means "no pain" and the on the right end of the scale (10 cm) "worst pain"

    after 48 hours of endodontic treatment

  • Postoperative pain

    Pain is evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS) which is a pain rating scale. Scores are based on measures that are self-reported of symptoms that are recorded through a single handwritten mark placed at one point along the length of a 10-cm line representing a continuum between the two ends of the scale; on the left end of the scale (0 cm) means "no pain" and the on the right end of the scale (10 cm) "worst pain"

    after 72 hours of endodontic treatment

Other Outcomes (3)

Rubber dam isolation of tooth using certain clamps .

Group (1) Resin Based Sealer interventionGroup (2) Silicone Based Sealer intervention

bleeding is controlled by using excavator for the removing the pulp tissue . using a piece of cotton soaked with Sodium hypochlorite. using local anesthesia with vasoconstrictor if needed and if suitable for the patient.

Group (1) Resin Based Sealer interventionGroup (2) Silicone Based Sealer intervention

Coronal patency of the coronal and the Middle part of the canal using file #10 Apical patency of the apical part of the canal using #10

Also known as: Coronal patency, Apical patency
Group (1) Resin Based Sealer interventionGroup (2) Silicone Based Sealer intervention

Coronal flaring using Orifice opener of a certain Rotary system in and out motion first then brushing motion touching all the canal walls

Group (1) Resin Based Sealer interventionGroup (2) Silicone Based Sealer intervention

Working length determination (W.L) using #10 K File , working length is recorded using apex locator and confirmatory radiograph.

Group (1) Resin Based Sealer interventionGroup (2) Silicone Based Sealer intervention
Glide pathPROCEDURE

Glide path of the canal Using #10 ,15 ,20 ,25 K files till becoming Super-Loose Inside the Canal at the recorded w.l to create a path for the rotary file .

Group (1) Resin Based Sealer interventionGroup (2) Silicone Based Sealer intervention
IrrigationPROCEDURE

Irrigation using 5.25% sodium hypochlorite introduced using side vented needle

Group (1) Resin Based Sealer interventionGroup (2) Silicone Based Sealer intervention

Cleaning and shaping using rotary system plus irrigation and apical patency between every rotary file .

Group (1) Resin Based Sealer interventionGroup (2) Silicone Based Sealer intervention

Second w.l determination using electronic apex locator before using final finishing rotary file .

Group (1) Resin Based Sealer interventionGroup (2) Silicone Based Sealer intervention

Establish the depth of apical constriction - this is the zero reading on your apex locator. your working length will be 0.5mm - 1mm short of this. After cleaning and preparing the canal system to your working length, passively insert 02 taper hand files, starting from #15. If the file goes past the apical constriction (your working length + 0.5-1mm), then choose the next largest file and repeat. When a file passively binds short of the apical constriction, that will be the upper limit of the apical constriction diameter. The smaller file before that would be the lower limit. Apical gauging helps with: Choosing the best master cone that closely matches canal length and taper Achieving true tug back - as opposed to false tug back! Minimising gutta percha extrusions during obturation
