Summary

This clinical study evaluated the effects of different root canal disinfection procedures on postoperative pain. Patients requiring root canal treatment received one of several disinfection methods. Postoperative pain was assessed at 6,24, 48, 72 hours and on the 7th day using a standard pain scale. The aim of the study was to identify which method resulted in the least discomfort. Participation involved a single treatment session and short-term follow-up for pain measurement.

Conditions

  • Pain, Postoperative

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Conventional Needle Irrigation

Root canals will be irrigated using a conventional syringe and needle technique with standard irrigant solutions. This method relies solely on manual delivery without activation devices.

PROCEDURE

Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation

Root canals will be irrigated using passive ultrasonic activation, which uses ultrasonic energy to improve irrigant effectiveness and reduce microbial load beyond manual techniques.

PROCEDURE

Sonic Irrigation

Root canals will be irrigated using a sonic activation device (e.g., EndoActivator) to enhance irrigant penetration and bacterial elimination compared to conventional irrigation.

PROCEDURE

KTP Laser Disinfection

Root canals will be disinfected using a KTP laser following standard irrigation protocols. Laser application aims to provide enhanced antimicrobial effects not achievable with conventional or activated irrigation methods.
