Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of the trial is to compare the effect of short-course oral corticotherapy versus partial endodontic treatment for the emergency care of the irreversible pulpitis in mandibulary molars on pain 24 hours after the emergency visit.;Secondary Objective: Global assessment of care conditions using several tools: - Number of analgesic drug step 1 on the World Health Organization analgesic ladder or step 2 taken after the inclusion visit and over 72 hours - Difference in pain measured by numeric scale (NS) between the emergency visit and 24 after - Kinetics of the pain self-assessed by NS at 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the emergency visit - Number of injected anesthetic cartridges for clinical silence for the realization of the complete endodontic treatment - Number of patients back for the complete endodontic treatment. - Patient’s comfort during the endodontic treatment measured by the scale "Iowa Satisfaction with Anesthesia Scale" (ISAS);Primary end point(s): The primary outcome is the proportion of patients with pain intensity below 5 on a numerical scale 24 hours after the emergency visit. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 hours after the emergency visit | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - Number of analgesic drug step 1 on the World Health Organization analgesic ladder (Paracetamol 1 gramm) or step 2 (Paracetamol 600 mg / Codeine 50mg) taken after the inclusion visit until 72 hours - Difference in pain measured by NS between T0 and T1 (24 hours after T0) - Kinetics of the pain self-assessed by NS at 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after T0 - Patient’s comfort during the complete endodontic treatment measured by the scale "Iowa Satisfaction with Anesthesia Scale" ISAS) - Number of injected anesthetic cartridges for clinical silence for the realization of the complete endodontic treatment - Number of patients back for the T2 visit. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: up to 72 hours after the emergency visit | — |
