Summary

This study is a prospective clinical study, which evaluates pain following the completion of non-surgical root canal treatment and re-treatment cases. Additionally, the effect of the post-operative pain on the quality of life (QoL) is also evaluated. The main objectives are: To evaluate the (i) incidence of post-operative pain after RCT at 24 hours, 48 hours and 7 days, (ii) factors affecting the incidence of post-operative pain and (iii) patients' post- operative quality of life (PoQoL) at 24 hours, 48 hours and 7 days.

Patients who are deemed suitable for this study, screened by clinicians on duty during Restorative New Patient Clinics, will be invited to participate in this study. They will be given the Patient Information Sheet (PIS) at the beginning of the session and will be given time to decide on whether to participate in the study or not. Patients who have consented to participate in the study will provide a written consent prior to the start of the study. Following this, the pre-operative pain assessment will be performed by their respective clinicians, based on the approved questionnaire.

Following the completion of the root canal treatment, for both post-instrumentation and post-obturation, the patients will be called by the principle investigator for the post-operative pain assessment at 24 hours, 48 hours and 7 days. The post-operative quality of life (QoL) will also be assessed via the phone call, at the same three time points. These assessments will be made based on an approved questionnaire.
