The Effect of Root-canal Medicaments on Post-operative Pain in Re-treatment Cases
Condition: Endodontically Treated Teeth
MeSH terms: Tooth, Nonvital; Pain, Postoperative
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      This randomized clinical trial compares the effects of intracanal medicaments on the
      incidence of postoperative pain and flare-up in asymptomatic retreatment cases.
    

Detailed description: 
      Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of intracanal medicaments on
      the incidence of postoperative pain and flare-up in asymptomatic retreatment cases.

      Methods: One hundred twenty patients with asymptomatic teeth with single-root, single-canal
      without spontaneous pain or swelling were included in the present study. All patients were
      previously undergone endodontic treatment but still had periapical radiolucencies. Patients
      were randomly and equally divided into three groups in which stratified randomization was
      performed based on the gender and the age of the patients. Intracanal medicaments were placed
      into the root canals following the removal of previous root canal fillings and
      re-instrumentation. Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), chlorhexidine gel (CHX), calcium hydroxide,
      and chlorhexidine gel combinations were used as intracanal medicaments in the present study.
      Postoperative pain scores were recorded at 6 and 12 hours and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 days
      using a visual analog scale (VAS). Sensitivity on percussion, spontaneous pain, swelling, and
      antibiotic and analgesic requirements of the patients were evaluated during clinical
      examinations performed postoperatively after 2 and 7 days.

Intervention description(s): Two different root canal medicaments and their combination were placed into the root canals following the removal of previous root canal fillings and re-instrumentation. Afterward, postoperative pain scores were recorded at 6 and 12 hours and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 days using the visual analog scale (VAS). Sensitivity on percussion, spontaneous pain, swelling, and antibiotic and analgesic requirements of the patients were married during clinical examinations performed postoperatively after 2 and 7 days.; Two different root canal medicaments and their combination were placed into the root canals following the removal of previous root canal fillings and re-instrumentation. Afterward, postoperative pain scores were recorded at 6 and 12 hours and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 days using the visual analog scale (VAS). Sensitivity on percussion, spontaneous pain, swelling, and antibiotic and analgesic requirements of the patients were married during clinical examinations performed postoperatively after 2 and 7 days.; Two different root canal medicaments and their combination were placed into the root canals following the removal of previous root canal fillings and re-instrumentation.
