Effect of Vitamin D on Postoperative Pain in Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis

5. maj 2026 opdateret af: Shady Mamdouh Elsayed Elsayed Badawy, Future University in Egypt

The Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation Protocol on Post Operative Pain in Patients With Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis of Mandibular First Molar Teeth After Root Canal Treatment. "A Triple Blinded Clinical Randomized Control Trial"

Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is a prevalent global health concern that has been linked to altered pain perception through its effects on inflammatory pathways, nociceptor activity, and neurotrophic signaling. While its role in chronic pain has been widely studied, limited evidence exists regarding its impact on acute postoperative dental pain. This triple-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the effect of moderate-dose vitamin D supplementation on postoperative pain following single-visit root canal treatment (RCT) in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis affecting mandibular first molars. A total of 54 vitamin D-deficient patients (serum 25(OH)D <30 nmol/L), aged 20-45 years, will be randomly allocated into three groups: a single preoperative dose group (150,000 IU vitamin D₃), a fractionated dose group (50,000 IU over three consecutive days), and a placebo group. All participants will undergo standardized single-visit RCT procedures. Postoperative pain will be assessed using a Modified Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at baseline and at 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours post-treatment, while analgesic intake will be recorded as a secondary outcome. It is hypothesized that vitamin D supplementation will significantly reduce postoperative pain levels and analgesic consumption compared to placebo. This study seeks to explore vitamin D as a safe, cost-effective adjunct in endodontic pain management, with potential implications for improving clinical outcomes in patients with VDD undergoing RCT.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

This study is a triple-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on postoperative pain following single-visit root canal treatment (RCT) in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis affecting mandibular first molars.

Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is highly prevalent worldwide and has been increasingly linked to pain modulation mechanisms, including effects on nociceptors, inflammatory pathways, neurotrophic factors, and immune responses. Despite evidence supporting its role in chronic pain, limited research has investigated its effect on acute dental pain, particularly postoperative endodontic pain.

Aim

To assess whether moderate-dose vitamin D supplementation reduces postoperative pain levels in vitamin D-deficient patients undergoing RCT.

Study Design & Participants Sample size: 54 patients (18 per group)

Population: Adults (20-45 years) with:

Vitamin D deficiency (<30 nmol/L) Symptomatic irreversible pulpitis in mandibular first molars All treatments are performed in a single visit under standardized clinical conditions.

Intervention Groups Group A: Single high dose (150,000 IU vitamin D₃) preoperatively Group B: Fractionated dose (50,000 IU for 3 days: pre-op + 2 days post-op) Group C: Placebo

Vitamin D is administered with dietary fat to enhance absorption.

Outcome Measures

Primary outcome:

Postoperative pain assessed using Modified Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at:

Preoperative baseline 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours post-treatment

Secondary outcome:

Analgesic intake (number of patients and tablets consumed) Methodology Highlights

Standardized RCT protocol including:

Rubber dam isolation Rotary instrumentation (crown-down technique) Sodium hypochlorite irrigation (5.25%) Continuous wave obturation Only ibuprofen (600 mg) allowed as rescue analgesic Strict triple blinding (patient, operator, assessor) to eliminate bias Hypothesis Null hypothesis: No difference in postoperative pain between vitamin D and placebo groups.

Significance

This study addresses a gap in endodontic pain management, exploring vitamin D as a potential adjunctive, low-cost, and biologically plausible analgesic strategy. If effective, it may influence clinical protocols for managing acute pulpitis-related pain and postoperative discomfort.
