Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial was to evaluate the effect of cryotherapy with salin solution on the intensity of postoperative pain after total pulpotomy procedures in molar teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. The main question it aims to answer is: \- Does controlled irrigation with cold saline in total pulpotomy reduce the severity of postoperative pain? In the cryotherapy group, unlike the control group, after hemostasis was achieved, the coronal pulp cavity was irrigated with 2 °C saline solution for 5 minutes.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Visual Analogue Scaleup to 72 hoursThe visual analog scale for pain is a straight line with one end meaning no pain (0) and the other end meaning the worst pain (10) imaginable. A patient marks a point on the line that matches the amount of pain he or she feels. It may be used to help choose the right dose of pain medicine. Also called VAS.
