Brief Summary

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of MTA-Bioseal, GuttaFlow bioseal, and NeoSealer Flo calcium-silicate based root canal sealers on postobturation pain in teeth with asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis or chronic apical periodontitis undergoing single-visit root canal treatment.

The study tried to answer whether the type of sealer used altered the incidence and intensity of postobturation endodontic pain, whether pulp status affected the incidence and intensity of postobturation endodontic pain and whether there was no difference in analgesic intake by patients after a single-visit root canal treatment between the experimental groups.

Detailed Description

This prospective clinical study was reported pain levels experienced after obturation were similar for the different pulp statuses and root canal sealers tested. The participants with single-rooted teeth were included and divided into four groups according to the root canal sealer used. Then, the patients were divided into two subgroups according to pulp vitality. The postobturation pain scores were recorded after obturation on a visual analog scale (VAS) at 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours, and at 7 and 30 days. The level of pain experienced after obturation was similar for all root canal sealers in different pulp statuses. The results of the study showed that the bioceramic-based sealers tested can be used safely in clinical practice in terms of postobturation pain.

All participates were divided into four experimantal groups according to the root canal sealersPost operative pain assessment after root canal treatmentParticipates were divided into four experimantal groups.
Groups were divided into two subgroups to be applied on teeth with pulpitis and apical periodontitisPost operative pain assessment after root canal treatmentFour different root canal sealer groups were divided into two subgroups to be applied on teeth with pulpitis and apical periodontitis. Although sealers were different, they was applied with the same technique.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in pain from 6 th hours to 30 days between root canal sealers6, 24, and 72 hours and at 7 and 30 days

All participants were asked to rate their perceived pain on the scale, with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating the highest possible pain. Pain levels were classified as none, mild (1 to 3), moderate (4 to 7), or severe (8 to 10).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in pain from 6 th hours to 30 days between diffrernt pulp status6, 24, and 72 hours and at 7 and 30 days,

All participants were asked to rate their perceived pain on the scale, with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating the highest possible pain. Pain levels were classified as none, mild (1 to 3), moderate (4 to 7), or severe (8 to 10).
