Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether enlarging the apical foramen causes postoperative pain in teeth with necrotic pulp and apical periodontitis.
Detailed description
Foraminal enlargement (FE) is an intentional procedure that enlarges the cement canal. However, some RCTs indicate that enlarging the FE causes postoperative pain, flare-up, and destroy the apical constriction, whilst some RCTs pointed out there is no difference in terms of pain when a FE has been performed. The investigators, therefore, would like to conduct a RCT to increase both sample size and the number of published studies to do a systematic review for this topic.
