Postoperative Pain After Root Canal Obturation With Sealer Containing Prednisolone.

February 14, 2022 updated by: ACTEON Group

Postoperative Pain Evaluation After Definitive Root Canal Obturation With Zinc Oxide/Eugenol-type Sealer Containing or Not 1% Prednisolone Acetate - Steroid Anti-inflammatory Agent: a Comparative, Randomized Clinical Trial.

The study design is a multicentric randomized controlled clinical trial. 238 subjects (teeth) requiring a primary or a secondary root canal treatment will be enrolled in 2 groups (119 in each group).

The aim is to assess the effectiveness and utility of the ancillary drug substance, prednisolone acetate (1%) contained in CORTISOMOL SP (Zinc Oxide/Eugenol-type sealer) to help to decrease the possible postoperative painful reactions after root canal treatment. SEALITE REGULAR, which has a similar formulation except it is prednisolone acetate-free, is used as the comparator sealer.

Procedures of root canal treatment will be conventional and standardized for all investigational centers. The canals will be cleaned, shaped and then obturated using a Zinc oxide/Eugenol-type sealer (CORTISOMOL SP or SEALITE REGULAR) and gutta-percha.

Patients assess their pain for 7 days after permanent root canal obturation.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: CORTISOMOL SP
Zinc oxide/Eugenol-type sealer containing 1% Prednisolone Acetate. The sealer is used in combination with gutta percha points for the permanent obturation of root canals.
The participant will be treated with CORTISOMOL SP sealer in combination with gutta percha.
Active Comparator: SEALITE REGULAR
The Zinc oxide/Eugenol-type sealer is used in combination with gutta percha points for the permanent obturation of root canals.
The participant will be treated with SEALITE REGULAR sealer in combination with gutta percha.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Post-operative pain assessed by a VAS
Time Frame: From the end of the root canal treatment (Day 0) to Day 7
The pain is assessed by patients in a diary using a Visual Analogue Scale (range from 0 (= no pain) to 100 (= the worst pain)) at different times after endodontic treatment from the end of the root canal obturation to Day 7. The maximum pain felt will be compared between the 2 groups.
From the end of the root canal treatment (Day 0) to Day 7

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Use of oral pain treatment
Time Frame: From the end of the root canal treatment (Day 0) to Day 7
Patients reported the consumption of analgesic treatment in a diary. The proportion of patients who took oral pain medication will be compared between the 2 groups.
From the end of the root canal treatment (Day 0) to Day 7
Number of adverse events
Time Frame: From the end of the root canal treatment (Day 0) to the end of follow-up visit (Day 14)
Adverse events recorded from the endodontic treatment to the end of follow-up visit will be used to assess the safety of root canal sealers and endodontic procedures.
From the end of the root canal treatment (Day 0) to the end of follow-up visit (Day 14)
