Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of anterior disc displacement with reduction (ADDR) on postoperative pain following root canal treatment in patients diagnosed with symptomatic apical periodontitis.

Conditions

  • Symptomatic Apical Periodontitis
  • Temporomandibular Disorders (TMDs)
  • Anterior Disc Displacement

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Single-Visit Conventional Root Canal Treatment Using Nickel-Titanium Rotary Instruments (Endoart Smart Gold)

All endodontic treatments were performed in a single visit by a single operator (BR) with six years of clinical experience, using a standardized treatment protocol. Only one tooth per patient was included in the study. Inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia was administered. After rubber dam isolation, access cavities were prepared. Working length was determined using an electronic apex locator set at 0.5 mm short of the apical foramen and confirmed with periapical radiography. Root canals were prepared using Endoart Smart Gold rotary instruments (Inci Dental, Istanbul, Türkiye) up to size 25/.04 for mesial canals and 30/.04 for distal canals. If insufficient apical instrumentation was detected, canal enlargement was extended up to a maximum of two sizes larger, according to canal length and anatomy. Following canal preparation, final irrigation was performed. The canals were obturated using the lateral condensation technique with a resin-based root canal sealer.

DRUG

Ibuprofen 400 mg (if necessary)

Ibuprofen (oral analgesic) was prescribed to all patients who underwent root canal treatment and was recommended for use only in case of postoperative pain.
