NCT05955742

Brief Summary

This study aimed to evaluate postoperative pain intensity after glide-path preparation with the ProGlider (PG) and WaveOne Gold Glider (WOGG) systems in asymptomatic teeth with necrotic pulp and periapical lesions.Maxillary and mandibular molars with chronic apical periodontitis of 78 patients (age, 18-65 years) were included. The patients were randomly divided into three groups: control (n = 26), PG (n = 26), and WOGG (n = 26). All systems were used according to the manufacturer's instructions, and all root canal treatments were completed by a single operator within two sessions. Postoperative pain was assessed using a numerical rating scale (NRS) at 6, 12, 18, 24, 48, and 72 h. The intake of prescribed analgesics and abscess formation were also recorded.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Postoperative pain intensity following the use of different glide path preparations

    Postoperative pain was assessed using a numerical rating scale (NRS), The severity of pain varies between 0 to 10, in which 0 means no pain, while 10 means unbearable pain.

    6th hour

  • Postoperative pain intensity following the use of different glide path preparations

    Postoperative pain was assessed using a numerical rating scale (NRS), The severity of pain varies between 0 to 10, in which 0 means no pain, while 10 means unbearable pain.

    12th hour

  • Postoperative pain intensity following the use of different glide path preparations

    Postoperative pain was assessed using a numerical rating scale (NRS), The severity of pain varies between 0 to 10, in which 0 means no pain, while 10 means unbearable pain.

    18th hour

  • Postoperative pain intensity following the use of different glide path preparations

    Postoperative pain was assessed using a numerical rating scale (NRS), The severity of pain varies between 0 to 10, in which 0 means no pain, while 10 means unbearable pain.

    24th hour

  • Postoperative pain intensity following the use of different glide path preparations

    Postoperative pain was assessed using a numerical rating scale (NRS), The severity of pain varies between 0 to 10, in which 0 means no pain, while 10 means unbearable pain.
