Pain
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this research is to analyze the levels of pain after cleaning and shaping in individuals who are receiving root canal therapy using the IVAC irrigation approach, and those who are treated with ultrasonic irrigation techniques, negative pressure irrigation technique and traditional irrigation techniques. PICOTS Question: Does the new Dent's iVac irrigation protocol has an effect on reduction of postoperative pain By enlisting at least 84 suitable individuals who are undergoing the identical endodontic procedure. pain will be measures by assessing pain levels through a standardized numerical rate scale (NRS) at certain time intervals after root canal treatment, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours.
Interventions
Root canals will be irrigated by only side perforated needle
DEVICEUltrasonic
Root canals will finally receive activation of the irrigant by the ultrasonic part of the IVAC system
DEVICEApical negative pressure
Root canals will finally receive activation of the irrigant by the negative pressure part of the IVAC system
DEVICECombined Ultrasonic and negative pressure
Root canals will finally receive activation of the irrigant by the IVAC system which is a combination of ultrasonic and apical negative pressure procedures.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Numerical Pain Scale (NRS) | Preoperative, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hour post-procedure. | Pain will be assessed during the numerical rate scale (NRS) which has a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 is no pain while 10 is most unbearable one. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Analgesics intake | 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours,48 hours and 72 hour post-procedure. | The patient will be advised to take analgesics in case of unbearable pain and record this. Number of tablets and the time will be recorded ● The satisfaction of patients regarding the pain management intervention at the follow-up |
