• Conditions: Irreversible pulpitis without periapical pathosis in maxillary and mandibular molars

• Registration Number: CTRI/2020/02/023339
• Lead Sponsor: Dr Anuj bhardwaj

Brief Summary

Single-visit endodontics is associated with numerous complications and postoperative pain is one of them. One of the most common factors influencing the occurrence of postoperative pain is the apical extrusion of debris during instrumentation. The instrumentation technique, as well as the design, type, and size of the instrument, have a major influence on the incidence of postoperative discomfort. In the literature search, there is a lack of clinical evidence comparing the postoperative pain after using different nickel-titanium systems such as ProTaper Next (PTN), Self-Adjusting File (SAF), and XP-endo Shaper (XPS) which employ varied file design and motion kinematics. The null hypothesis tested was that there is no difference in the postoperative pain following the use of PTN, SAF, and XPS instrumentation systems. The aim of the study was, therefore, to compare the post-instrumentation pain following the use of PTN, SAF, and XPS.
