"Effect of Sonic Activation Assisted Irrigation and Apical Enlargement on Postoperative Endodontic Pain"

The Clinical Comparative Evaluation of Sonic Activation Assisted Irrigation and Apical Enlargement on Postoperative Endodontic Pain In Retreatment: A Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 120 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Istanbul Medipol University Hospital · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 65 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the incidence of postoperative pain after retreatment after apical enlargement and sonic activation assisted irrigation. The presence of postoperative pain will assess after retreatment cases at 12, 24, 48, 72 hrs and 1 week.

Detailed description

The aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the intensity and duration of postoperative pain after apical enlargement and sonic activation assisted irrigation procedures. Patients who have asymptomatic teeth required retreatment will include in this study and retreatment procedure will be applied to these teeth. One hundreds twenty asymptomatic teeth required retreatment will randomly participate into 4 treatment groups in terms of apical enlargement and sonic activation assisted irrigation procedure applied. The presence of postoperative pain will assess after 12, 24, 48, 72 hrs and 1 week. Postoperative pain will be recorded by each patient by using visual analogue pain scale. Before the treatments, the nature of the study, complications and associated risks will be totally explained and written informed consent will be obtained from all study participants. The local anesthetic will be applied before the treatment start. The routine retreatment procedure will be applied. Different final irrigation solutions will be applied in accordance to the manufacturers' instructions. At the end of treatment, each patient will be given an evaluation sheet, explained the treatment procedure and using of visual analogue pain scales, and informed to be returned during the following one week. After one week the teeth will be examined according to for pain intensity, percussion \& palpation sensitivity, swelling, analgesic intake and clinical status.

Conditions

• Postoperative Pain
• Endodontically Treated Teeth

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Apical enlargement	The teeth in this group will be treated according to the guidelines for retreatment in single-session. The filling will remove and cavity will be opened. The working length will be measured using apex locator and the "0" point will be based on. After standard irrigation protocol, root canals will be obturated with gutta percha and root canal sealer. Coronal restoration will complete using composite and/or fully crown if necessary.
PROCEDURE	Apical enlargement + Sonic Activation Assisted Irrigation	The teeth in this group will be treated according to the guidelines for retreatment in single-session. The filling will remove and cavity will open. The working length will be measured using apex locator and the "0" point will be based on. After standard irrigation protocol, sonic activation assisted irrigation will be applied to the root canals. Then the teeth were obturated with gutta percha and root canal sealer. Coronal restoration will complete using composite and/or fully crown if necessary.
PROCEDURE	Non Apical enlargement	The teeth in this group will be treated according to the guidelines for retreatment in single-session. The filling will remove and cavity will open. The working length will be measured using apex locator and 1 mm shorter than the "0" point will be based on. After standard irrigation protocol, root canals will be obturated with gutta percha and root canal sealer. Coronal restoration will complete using composite and/or fully crown if necessary.
