Summary

Summary:

After a root canal procedure, it is common to experience postoperative pain. Cleaning the root canal thoroughly is crucial for pain relief, but removing all debris with standard methods is difficult. Irrigation, using either traditional endodontic needles or newer methods like endodontic activation, helps clean the canal. This study aims to compare pain levels after using conventional needles versus an Endo1 Ultrasonic Endo Activate Device for irrigation. Patients will undergo standard root canal preparation and then be randomly assigned to one of two groups for final irrigation: the Endo1 device (EA) and the conventional endodontic needles (EN). The study will provide insights into which method is more effective in reducing postoperative pain.

Conditions

  • Postoperative Pain
  • Irreversible Pulpitis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

endodontic needle (EN)

the irrigation of root canals will be done with 2.5 % sodium hypochlorite. The delivery of the irrigant will be done using 27G side-vented endodontic irrigation needles (Omega, Inc). The tip of the needle will be pre-measured and positioned within 1 millimeter of the working length. No activation of the irrigant will be performed.

PROCEDURE

Endodontic activation (EA)

the irrigation of root canals will be done with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite. The delivery of the irrigant will be done using 27G side-vented endodontic irrigation needles (Omega, Inc). The irrigant will be activated with ultrasonic energy using the Endo-1 Ultrasonic Endo Activator (Guilin Woodpecker, Guilin, China). The tip of the Endo-1 Ultrasonic Endo Activator device will be pre-measured and kept within 1 mm from the working length. The manufacturer's instructions regarding irrigant activation will be followed.
