Summary

This clinical study aims to evaluate the effect of different root canal irrigation techniques on postoperative pain levels and periapical healing in premolar and molar teeth diagnosed with apical periodontitis (Periapical Index (PAI) score 4-5). A total of 162 patients are randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) sonic irrigation activation using EDDY, (2) ultrasonic irrigation activation using VDW Ultra, and (3) conventional syringe irrigation as the control. Postoperative pain will be recorded using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Visual Analog Scale (VRS) at multiple time points up to one month. Periapical healing will be assessed using periapical imaging performed with the parallel technique one year after treatment. The study aims to determine whether enhanced irrigation techniques provide superior clinical outcomes compared to traditional methods.

Conditions

  • Apical Periodontitis

Interventions

DEVICE

VDW Ultra Ultrasonic Irrigation Activation

Irrigation will be activated using an ultrasonic tip (IRRI S 21/25) connected to the VDW Ultra device (VDW GmbH, Munich, Germany), 2 mm short of working length. NaOCl and EDTA will each be activated for 20 seconds, repeated three times.

DEVICE

EDDY Sonic Irrigation Activation

Irrigation solution will be activated using the EDDY sonic tip (VDW GmbH, Munich, Germany), positioned 2 mm short of the working length. NaOCl and EDTA will each be activated for 20 seconds, repeated three times.

PROCEDURE

Conventional Needle Irrigation

Irrigation will be performed using a syringe and needle without activation. A total of 6 ml NaOCl, 2 ml EDTA and 5 mL of sterile saline will be used during final irrigation.
