Summary

All Patients coming to the Operative Dentistry Department (DIDC-DUHS) with complain of pain in posterior teeth will be invited to participate. The treatment will be done by one dentist. Patient's medical and dental history will be recorded, and tooth will be checked for swelling, sensitivity, cavity type, and loosening of tooth. Special tests like the cold test, electric pulp test, and an X-ray will help assess the tooth's condition. Patient will also be asked to rate pain from 1-10. Before starting the treatment, the procedure will be explained to patient in detail, and written consent will be taken. The treatment will be done in two visits by one dentist. Patient will be given an injection to make tooth pain-free so that patient does not feel any discomfort during the treatment and the area will be kept clean using a rubber sheet. The dentist will remove the hole in tooth and remove the infected soft part of tooth and stop the bleeding. Then one of the two materials will be placed inside the tooth. A temporary filling will be placed first, and patient will come the next day for the final filling. An X-ray will be taken to check the result. If patient feel pain, may take ibuprofen (400 mg) as needed, and if the pain continues, please contact the dentist. Patient will be called for follow-ups after 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months to make sure the tooth is healing properly.
