NCT06237985

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the expression of inflammatory mediators in the crevicular fluid and periodontal ligament after one-visit root canal treatment of mandibular molars of patients with asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis using 3 different file systems. The main question it aims to answer is: Does conservative root canal preparation cause decreased expression of inflammatory mediators compared to conventional root canal preparation? In this context, patients will be divided into 3 groups based on the file systems as follows: ProTaper Gold, OneShape, and TruNatomy up to apical size #25. Both inflammatory mediator expression and postoperative VAS values will be compared.
