Summary

This investigation will focus on the use of EDDY tips, because it is known that the complete debridement of the canal is very difficult, which leads to an accumulation of tissue debris, bacteria and their products, resulting in persistent periradicular inflammation. So, it's of great importance, the study of other approaches of cleaning and disinfecting the root canal, which at the same time, may produce a lower risk of postoperative pain.

The above mentioned topics have never been analysed simultaneously with the use of EDDY tips, and the evaluation of the postoperative pain was never addressed.

This research is of great clinical interest, due to the complexity of root canal system, with isthmuses, ramifications and dentinal tubules, that make the total elimination of bacteria impossible, even with the best clinical protocols, because the irrigants cannot penetrate the dentinal tubules, and the postoperative pain is an exhausting factor for patients.

Therefore, a new protocol, with better disinfection rate and less postoperative pain, will be able to increase the success rate of endodontic treatments, allowing to save condemned teeth.

Conditions

  • Pain, Postoperative

Interventions

DRUG

5,25% NaOCl with syringe needle irrigation alone

In group 1 (control group), a final irrigation will be made with 1.5 ml of NaOCl per canal, during 30 seconds in an up-and-down motion, with the needle 1 mm short of the working length, without binding. After this, a 30 seconds pause will be done. This step will be repeated once again.

DEVICE

EDDY

In group 2, a final irrigation will be made with 1.5 ml of NaOCl per canal and the irrigant will be activated using EDDY tips, 1 mm short of the working length without binding. The activation will be performed during 30 seconds, followed by a 30 seconds pause, and the cycle will be repeated once again, according to manufacture instructions.
