Effect of Different Final Irrigation Protocols on Postoperative Endodontic Pain in Devital Teeth

April 3, 2020 updated by: Istanbul Medipol University Hospital

The Clinical Comparative Evaluation of Different Final Irrigation Protocols on Postoperative Endodontic Pain In Devital Teeth: A Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the incidence of postoperative pain after root canal treatment using different final irrigation protocols. Patients whom need root canal treatment for first time were included. The presence of postoperative pain was assessed after root canal treatment cases at 12, 24, 48, 72 hrs and 1 week.

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the intensity and duration of postoperative pain following different final irrigation procedures. Patients who have asymptomaticdevital teeth required endodontic treatment were included in this study and routine root canal treatment procedure was applied to these teeth. All of the patients have been recruited from the Istanbul Medipol University Dental Clinics in Istanbul. Ninety asymptomatic teeth were randomly participated into 3 treatment groups in terms of intracanal medicament applied. The presence of postoperative pain was assessed after 12, 24, 48, 72 hrs and 1 week. Postoperative pain was recorded by each patient by using visual analogue pain scale. Before the treatments, the nature of the study, complications and associated risks were totally explained and written informed consent was obtained from all study participants. The patients were offered local anesthetic before the treatment start. The routine root canal treatment procedure was applied. Different final irrigation solutions applied in accordance to the manufacturers' instructions. At the end of treatment, each patient was given an evaluation sheet, explained the treatment procedure and using of visual analogue pain scales, and informed to be returned during the following one week. After one week the teeth was examined according to for pain intensity, percussion & palpation sensitivity, swelling, analgesic intake and clinical status.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 65 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

-Patients who were healthy volunteers and who have devital premolar and molar teeth with PAI 3-5score requiring root canal treatment for first time.

Patients who were not included the study who;

  • were pregnant or breast feeding during the duration of the study,
  • have systemic disease, have any pain and/or any facial swelling, abscess,
  • were immunocompromised,
  • were under 18 yrs. and over 65 yrs. age,
  • were taking antibiotics or corticosteroids within previous three days,

ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: EDTA and CHX solution
Root canal irrigation was performed according to the guidelines to the manufacturers instructions for EDTA and CHX solution.
Procedure: EDTA and CHX Solution
The teeth in this group were treated according to the guidelines for root canal treatment in single-session. The filling was removed and cavity was opened. After standart irrigation protocol, root canals were irrigated with Qmix 2in1 solution and obturated with gutta percha. Coronal restoration was complete using composite and/or fully crown if necessary.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from Baseline in Postoperative Pain after Root Cana Treatment at 1 week.
Time Frame: Baseline, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours and 1 week.
The primary outcome measure of the study was to assess if different intracanal medicaments and single-visit root canal treatment influence the occurrence of postoperative pain.Postoperative pain was assessed using a well defined Heft-Parker visual analogue scale (VAS) scale. Each patient recorded the pain level on a 100-mm VAS scale experimental basis for revising the graphic rating scale for pain in well-defined categories at 5 time intervals as 12, 24, 48, 72 hours and 1 week after treatment. The VAS scale was divided into 4 categories: No pain or faint pain corresponded to 0 mm. Mild pain was defined as greater than 0 mm and less than or equal to 25 mm. Mild pain included the descriptors of weak and mild pain. Moderate pain was defined as greater than 50 mm and less than 75 mm. Intense pain was defined as equal to or greater than 75 mm. Intense pain included the descriptors of strong, severe, and maximum possible.
Baseline, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours and 1 week.
