Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Pulpitis,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2021/01/030329
• Lead Sponsor: Sai Ram

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to compare the post- operative pain after the patients have been subjected to irrigant activation techniques at 6, 24 and 48 hours using visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0-10 and to correlate the intensity of pain and analgesic intake in patients with severe pain. Healthy patients in the age group of 18-65 years of age with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and pain score from moderate to severe on VAS scale were included in the study. Patients who had analgesic within the last 12 hours were excluded from the study and immunocompromised patients, patients with calcified canal or periodontal disease were excluded from the study. The groups analyzed were conventional needle irrigation, Passive ultrasonic irrigation and Laser activated irrigation. The parameters evaluated were post operative pain after 6, 24 and 48 hours using VAS scale. The correlation between quantity and duration of analgesic intake in patients with severe pain were also evaluated after 24 hours.
