Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Retreatment

• Registration Number: NCT06803277
• Lead Sponsor: TC Erciyes University

Brief Summary

Clinical Trial The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the effect of different root canal sealers on post operative pain after a single session endodontic retreatment of the teeth have single root and canal with chronic apical periodontitis.

The main questions aimed to be answered are:

Which of the patients treated with AHplus, Sureseal and Sealapex root canal sealers had more postoperative pain after endodontic retreatment?

Which of the patients that treated with AHplus, Sureseal and Sealapex root canal sealers required more analgesic intake after endodontic retreatment?

Participants:

Undergo a single session of endodontic retreatment using one of AH plus, Sureseal or Sealapex root canal sealers.

Visit the clinic one week later after endodontic retreatment Write the condition of analgesic intake and pain score at 6, 12, 24 hours and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 days after treatment using a visual analog scale.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
the evaluation of post operative pain levels of the participants after used the different root canal sealers during endodontic retreatment endodontic retreatment	Postoperative pain was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS) at 6 hours,12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 4,5,6 and 7 days after the end of the retreatment.The VAS was a 100 mm horizontal scale with marks every 10 mm	The time when the retreatment is completed is considered the start time ( 0 h).Postoperative pain was assessed using a VAS at 6 hours,12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 4,5,6 and 7 days after the end of the retreatment.The VAS was a 100 mm horizontal scale with marks every 10 mm and no numbers except a 0 at the beginning of the scale and a 10 at the end.An investigator blinded to the study groups trained all participants to use the scale.The pain levels were classified as no pain (0-4 mm), mild pain (5-44 mm), moderate pain (45-74 mm), or severe pain (75- 100 mm).
the evaluation of analgesic intake of the participants after used the different root canal sealers during endodontic retreatment	Participants were asked to note whether they took 400 mgr ibuprofen at 6 hours,12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 4,5,6 and 7 days after the end of the retreatment as score 1 or score 2	The time when the retreatment is completed is considered the start time ( 0 h). Score 1: If the participant did not need analgesic a medicine(400 mgr ibuprofen ) after the retreatment, the participant was told to mark a score of 1.; Score 2: If the participant needed analgesic a medicine (400 mgr ibuprofen ) after the retreatment, the participant was told to mark a score of 2.
