Brief summary
The aim of this study was to investigate the difference in postoperative pain caused by different root canal sealers in patients with irreversible pulpitis symptoms and no apical lesions.
Interventions
DRUGMTA
MTA is primarily composed of tricalcium silicate, dicalcium silicate, bismuth oxide (for radiopacity), and small amounts of calcium sulfate. MTA is highly biocompatible, making it suitable for use in the root canal system and areas in close contact with tissues.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 7-day postoperative pain after root canal treatment | 7 days | At the end of the visit, patients were educated to record their postoperative pain level by assigning a number between 0 and 10 using the numerical rating scale (NRS) chart. They were categorized into four: 0=no pain, 1-3=mild pain, 4-6=moderate pain, and 7-10=severe pain. The patients were asked to record their pain level preoperatively, at 6, 12, and 24 h, and daily for up to 7 days, and return it to he investigators at a specific time. |
