Summary

Apical patency is a technique in which the apical portion of the canal is maintained free of soft tissue remnants and dentinal debris by recapitulation with a small #10k file through the apical foramen. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between apical patency and postoperative pain in teeth with asymptomatic necrotic pulp among patients attending the Peshawar Dental College and Hospital. This single center, double blinded prospective RCT study will be conducted in Peshawar Dental College and Hospital. The inclusion criteria will be mature maxillary and mandibular molars and premolars diagnosed with asymptomatic necrotic pulp and apical periodontitis among 18-60 aged male and female patients, whereas pregnant patients, individuals with previously accessed teeth, and those having positive history of analgesic use within past 3 days will be excluded from the study. A total of 60 patients, after an informed consent will be randomly allocated one of the two groups i.e., apical patency (AP)(n = 30) and the non-apical patency (NAP) (n = 30) in a ratio (1:1).After administering localanaesthesia, root canal preparation will be completed using ProTaper rotary instruments.A size 10 K-filewas carried 1 mm beyond the working length in the patency groupused as a patency file.Patients will be asked to mark their pain intensity on 0-10 scale (NRS)for 7 days. Data will be analyzed using ChiSquare test, Student t-test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.
