Effect of Different Apical Motion Algorithms on Postoperative Pain After Root Canal Treatment
The Effect of Using A Single Nickel-Titanium File System With Rotary And Reciprocation Kinematics in Different Apical Motion Modes on Postoperative Pain After Root Canal Treatment
Brief Summary
This prospective, randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the effect of different endodontic motor settings used during root canal treatment on postoperative pain.
During root canal treatment, the inner part of the tooth is cleaned and shaped using specialized rotating instruments. These instruments can operate with different motion patterns, and the motor may respond differently as the instrument approaches the tip of the root. The influence of these technical variations on postoperative pain has not been clearly established.
Adult participants requiring root canal treatment for mandibular premolar teeth will be enrolled in the study. Participants will be randomly assigned to different groups. In each group, root canal treatment will be performed using different motor motion settings. All procedures applied in this study are routine and safe treatment methods commonly used in clinical endodontic practice.
After treatment, participants' pain levels will be monitored through telephone follow-ups. Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). In addition, analgesic intake will be recorded.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether different endodontic motor settings influence postoperative pain and patient comfort following root canal treatment. The findings are expected to contribute to safer and more comfortable root canal treatment protocols.

상세 설명
Detailed Description
Postoperative pain remains one of the most relevant short-term outcomes in endodontic treatment and may be influenced by several mechanical and biological factors during root canal preparation. Among these factors, the kinematics of nickel-titanium instrumentation systems and the apical motion algorithms integrated into endodontic motors may affect debris extrusion, apical stress, and periapical tissue irritation. Although different motor settings are routinely used in clinical practice, the influence of these apical motion modes on postoperative pain has not been sufficiently clarified.
This prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trial is designed to investigate the effect of different apical motion algorithms used during root canal treatment on postoperative pain. The study will focus on mandibular premolar teeth diagnosed with chronic apical periodontitis and requiring primary root canal treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of six treatment groups according to the kinematic system used during canal preparation (rotary or reciprocating) and the apical motion mode of the endodontic motor (auto apical stop, auto apical reverse, or off mode).
All treatments will be performed by the investigator using a standardized clinical protocol under local anesthesia and rubber dam isolation. Working length determination, irrigation, ultrasonic activation, canal preparation, obturation, and coronal restoration procedures will be standardized in order to minimize operator- and technique-related variability. A single nickel-titanium file system will be used in all groups to reduce the confounding effect of instrument design.
The main purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of different apical motion modes, under rotary and reciprocating kinematics, results in differences in postoperative pain intensity. In addition, the study seeks to provide clinically relevant evidence regarding whether these motor settings influence patient comfort after treatment. The findings are expected to contribute to the optimization of endodontic instrumentation protocols and to support more evidence-based selection of motor settings in daily clinical practice.

Postoperative Pain Intensity
기간: Repeated measurements at 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, and 7 days after treatment.
|
Postoperative pain intensity will be assessed using a 10-cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS), ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable).
Higher scores indicate greater postoperative pain intensity.
The same outcome measure will be assessed repeatedly at predefined postoperative time points to evaluate changes in postoperative pain intensity over time.
