STUDY ON EFFECT OF COLD SALINE IRRIGATION ON POSTOPERATIVE PAIN AFTER ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
- Conditions
- Acute apical periodontitis of pulpal origin,
- Registration Number
- CTRI/2022/10/046599

- Brief Summary
Pain is an unwanted yet unfortunately common sensation after root canaltreatment. which commences a few hours or days after treatment and is always anunpleasant experience for both patients and clinicians.In 2016, cryotherapy was first clinically used in endodontics by Keskin etalfor minimizing postoperative pain after single-visit root canaltreatment. Their study included teeth with vital inflamed pulps; however, theydid not differentiate between asymptomatic and symptomatic pulpitis nor didthey differentiate between cases with and without apical periodontitis.Other studies following the same protocol presented by Vera et alaffirmedthat cryotherapy reduced postoperative pain after single-visit root canal treatmentin teeth with vital pulps.Nevertheless, extirpation of theinflamed pulp in irreversible pulpitis where the inflammation is confinedwithin the pulp and did not extend into the periapical tissue is usually proceededby patient relief so the direct effect ofcryotherapy on reducing postoperative pain could not be established in thiscase.Therefore the purpose ofthis study is to evaluate and compare the effect of cryotreated saline and roomtemperature saline as a final irrigant on pain after single visit root canaltreatment in patients with vital inflamed pulp with apical periodontitis.
