Detailed Description
Root canal therapy is a procedure in which inflamed pulp tissue and microorganisms are removed from root canals and pulp chamber, in order to eradicate infection and symptoms. Irrigation is a crucial step of an endodontic therapy and different methods and protocols are used to enhance the efficacy of irrigation. Ultrasonic activation of root canal irrigation agent is one of the effective methods that enhance the outcomes and success rate of endo therapies. It removes the smear layer, bacterial biofilms and debris by acoustic streaming and agitating the irrigant inside root canals. Similarly, a conventional method of agitation (manual dynamic agitation) also play an important role in endodontic therapy, particularly by improving the delivery of irrigation agent to the apex of a root canal. The later method involves agitation of irrigant with master gutta percha cone with continuous to and fro strokes manually.
In this study, the efficacy of both the different irrigation protocols will be compared and assessed based on post-operative pain, measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Post Operative pain assessed by VAS after endodontic therapy
Time Frame: 1 week
|
comparative evaluation of post operative pain after using different irrigation devices, using VAS (Visual Analog Scale). It is drawn as a straight line of 10 inches and marked in numbers which show intensity of pain, from 0-10, with 0 being no pain at all to10 being the worst pain imaginable. In detail, it is a scale which shows pain intensity in ascending order and can also be used to analyze the intensity of pain experienced by the patient. 0: No pain at all 1-3: mild pain 4-6: moderate pain 7-9: severe pain 10: worst pain imaginable |
