Pain, Postoperative
Conditions
Brief summary
Aim to compare acute pain rate after single-visit ortwo-visits treatment of teeth with necrotic pulp and apical periodontitis .90 teeth with a diagnosis of pulp necrosis and apical radiolucency at the apex.Working length was established with EAL and confirmed radiographically. Flex-R files were used to complete canal preparation. Level ofdiscomfort were recorded and cases with acute postoperative pain.
Detailed description
90 teeth with a diagnosis of pulp necrosis and apical radiolucency at the apex.Working length was established with EAL and confirmed radiographically. M4system with Flex-R files were used to complete canal preparation. Level ofdiscomfort were recorded and cases with severe postoperative pain and/orswelling were classified as acute pain.
Interventions
PROCEDUREIbuprofen for post operative pain
All treatment sessions were approximately 45 minutes in length to allow for acceptable time for completionof treatment and retreatment in one or two visits. Allthe clinical procedures were performed by the author.Following local anesthesia with 2% lidocaine with1:100,000 epinephrine (Septodont Saint-Maur desFossés, France) and rubber dam isolation the toothwas disinfected with 5.25% NaOCl (Ultra bleach,Bentonville, AR, USA).
