Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of two different concentrations of sodium hypochlorite (2.5% and 5.25%) on post-operative pain following single-visit root canal treatment. A total of 116 participants requiring primary endodontic treatment will be randomly allocated into two groups according to irrigant concentration. Post-operative pain will be assessed using a 100-mm Visual Analog Scale at 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours after treatment. The study seeks to determine the concentration that provides optimal disinfection with minimal patient discomfort.

Conditions

  • Post Operative Pain, Acute

Interventions

DRUG

Sodium Hypochlorite Irrigation

Participants undergoing single-visit root canal treatment will receive root canal irrigation using either 2.5% sodium hypochlorite or 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution. Irrigation will be standardized by delivering 5 mL of the assigned solution per canal using a 30-gauge side-vented needle placed 2 mm short of the working length during chemo-mechanical preparation. The concentration of sodium hypochlorite will be the only variable between study groups.
