Overview
Brief Summary
Aim to compare acute pain rate after single-visit ortwo-visits treatment of teeth with necrotic pulp and apical periodontitis .90 teeth with a diagnosis of pulp necrosis and apical radiolucency at the apex.Working length was established with EAL and confirmed radiographically. Flex-R files were used to complete canal preparation. Level ofdiscomfort were recorded and cases with acute postoperative pain.
Detailed Description
90 teeth with a diagnosis of pulp necrosis and apical radiolucency at the apex.Working length was established with EAL and confirmed radiographically. M4system with Flex-R files were used to complete canal preparation. Level ofdiscomfort were recorded and cases with severe postoperative pain and/orswelling were classified as acute pain.
