Detailed description

Introduction: Treating endodontic failure cases has always been a challenge for the clinician due to the complex nature of disease which includes resistant microorganisms, iatrogenic errors and cleaning and shaping of un-instrumented areas. Endodontic retreatment can be done in either single or multiple visits. Multiple visits have the added advantage of placement of intracanal medicament resulting in decreased bacterial load and reduced pain, whereas single visit endodontic retreatment reduces chances of inter appointment microbial contamination. This study aims to evaluate post operative pain among both groups. Objective: To evaluate frequency of post-operative pain in endodontic retreatment cases after single vs multiple (two) visits root canal therapy. Materials and Methods: STUDY SETTING: Department of Operative Dentistry, AFID Rawalpindi.
