Brief Summary

Introduction: Postoperative pain is one of the most critical issues in our daily practice. , postoperative pain control is essential for patient satisfaction and comfort. When primary root canal treatment fails, root canal retreatment aims to heal apical periodontitis. Aim of study: To compare between postoperative pain (POS) after endodontic retreatment using NI-TI rotary files Mtwo R alone and in conjunction with XP endo finisher . Materials and Methods: This research is a randomized clinical trial conducted in a parallel design on 50 patients needing retreatment. They will be divided into two groups, group 1 retreatment with Mtwo R, group 2 retreatment with Mtwo R followed by Xp - Endo finisher. Postoperative pain levels will be evaluated at 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, and 7 days following the removal of the obturation mat erial. The assessment of pain will be done through clinical examination, The Defense and veterans pain rating scale (DVPRS) and by the intake of pain killer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in pain

    Word descriptors are attached to each number on the DVPRS 0 = No pain 1. = Hardly noticeable pain 2. = Noticeable pain, but does not interfere with activities 3. = Somewhat distracting pain 4. = Distracting pain, but does not affect normal activities 5. = Pain interrupts some activities 6. = Hard to ignore pain, avoidance of daily activities 7. = Pain is the main focus of attention, prevents daily activities 8. = Awful pain, difficult to do anything 9. = Unbearable pain, cannot do anything 10. = As bad as pain can be, nothing else matters

    24-hours,48-hours,72hours and 7 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • change in analgesics intake according to severity of pain according to WHO Analgesic Ladder

    24-hours,48-hours,72hours and 7 days

Study Arms (2)

Mtwo R files without Xp-endo finisher file.

EXPERIMENTAL
Other: Mtwo R files

Mtwo R files followed by Xp-Endo finisher file

EXPERIMENTAL
Other: Mtwo R files with Xp-Endo finisher file

Interventions

XP-endo Finisher file will be inserted without rotation into the root canals filled with 2.5% NaOCl and will be activated (800 rpm; torque of 1 N.cm) for 1 min in each canal using slow and gentle 7-8 mm lengthwise movements.

Mtwo R files followed by Xp-Endo finisher file

obturation material will be removed using Mtwo R (VDW, Munich, Germany)files attached to an endodontic motor (Ecube, seachin, Korea) with a constant speed of 280 rpm, as suggested by the manufacturer. Mtwo R 25/0.05 will be used to empty the coronal and middle thirds of the root. Mtwo R 15/0.05 will be used to reach the working length.

Mtwo R files without Xp-endo finisher file.
