简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the GentleWave® System compared to conventional methods in reducing postoperative pain in patients with necrotic pulp or requiring endodontic retreatment.
详细描述
New irrigation modalities such as the GentleWave® System, which integrates advanced multisonic ultrasound technology, have been developed to overcome limitations and improve root canal treatments success rates, by ensuring comprehensive cleaning while minimizing mechanical instrumentation. This system, featuring CleanFlow technology, optimizes the delivery of irrigants and promotes efficient root canal debridement. Postoperative pain is common, usually peaking within the first 24 hours after treatment and decreasing thereafter.
In the presence of necrosis, microorganisms can colonize anatomical complexities, such as isthmuses, ramifications and dentinal tubules causing symptoms such as pain, inflammation, and in some cases even odontogenic sinusitis. Conventional Syringe Irrigation (CSI), which delivers irrigants (NaOCl, EDTA) through a needle-syringe system, often fails to reach the entire working length and the intricate anatomy of the root canal. This inadequacy can result in residual bacteria and necrotic tissue, potentially compromising treatment efficacy and increasing the risk of treatment failure; furthermore, positive pressure exerted during CSI may cause the extrusion of irrigants beyond the apex, leading to complications.

结局指标
主要结局
To evaluate whether using the Gentlewave system demonstrates a significant reduction in the level of postoperative pain after endodontic treatment measured by the VAS (Visual Analog Scale).
时间窗: 24 hours
Pain measurements were made using a VAS (Visual Analog Scale of 0-10. Where the value of 0 represented absence of pain and value 10 represented the greatest intensity of pain.
