Evaluation of the Effect of Root Canal Preparation by TF and M-Pro on Post-Operative Pain After Single Visit Endodontic Treatment

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Acute Pulpitis

• Registration Number: NCT03412318
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

A study to comparatively evaluate the post operative pain between root canal preparation by reciprocating file (TF) and full rotation file (M-Pro) in patients with single rooted teeth with acute irreversible pulpits.

Detailed Description

Teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis are selected according to the eligibility and exclusion criteria and patients are then randomized to receive treatment after using Twisted files or M-pro files. The treatment is done in single visit. The postoperative pain is then assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale 6,12, 24 and 48 hours post-instrumentation.
