Comparison Of The Incidence Of Postoperative Pain Using Different Single File Systems: A Prospective, Randomized Clinical Trial

Completed

Conditions: this is a randomized clinical trial done on healthy human volunteers with irreversible pulpitis in mandibular molar teeth

Brief Summary: This is a Prospective Randomized Clinical trial to evaluate postoperative pain after root canal treatment using three different single file systems.Other criterias assessed were treatment time and systemic analgesic intake at 24 hrs, 48 hrs, 72 hrs and 7 days. Single visit root canal treatment is done to assess pain level after root canal treatment, also analgesic intake and total treatment time. All subjects will be asked to mark pain on Heft Parkers Visual Analog Scale to analyse the level of pain. Data will be subjected to statistical analysis.
