Post operative pain evaluation after single sitting Root canal treatment using different files and irrigation techniques

Phase 4

Completed

• Conditions: Dental caries, unspecified,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2023/07/055186
• Lead Sponsor: Dr Thomas Rapheal

Brief Summary

**Forty patients** requiring endodontic treatment in molars were randomly selected from the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, IDST, ModiNagar for single visit root canal treatment. Teeth requiring intentional RCTs and with irreversible pulpitis were included. Teeth requiring endodontic retreatment and teeth with periapical abscess, swelling and patients with systemic diseases were excluded.

**Sample Preparation**

Pre-operative radiograph was taken for patients requiring RCT. Pre operative pain was evaluated for these patients using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scale.

Access opening and working length determination were done using radiographs and apex locator under rubber dam isolation.

**Grouping of Samples**

The patients were randomly divided into **two groups** depending on the file system used for biomechanical preparation. Group 1 (n=20): **XP Endoshaper files** Group 2 (n=20): **Trunatomy files**.

The patients were further subdivided into **2 sub-groups** depending on the irrigant agitation techniques: **Subgroup A (n=10): Sonic agitation** ,**Subgroup B (n=10): Ultrasonic agitation** .Single cone obturation will be done .

**Pain Measurement**

Post operative pain was evaluated using **Visual Analog scale (VAS scale)** at 6hrs, 24hrs, 48hrs and 1 week followed by a post operative radiograph (PAI Index  was used) .Data was  recorded, tabulated and statistically analyzed. The study was successfully completed
