Conditions

Root Canal Obturation

Brief summary

The study involves two groups in which root canal obturation will be performed using different obturation techniques. Group one consists of participants with the single cone cold lateral condensation method, while group two consists of participants with the continuous wave compaction technique. Postoperative pain will be assessed and compared between the two groups.

Detailed description

This study aims to compare postoperative pain levels following root canal obturation using two different techniques: the single cone cold lateral condensation method and the continuous wave compaction technique. Participants will be divided into two groups, each receiving one of the two obturation methods. Pain levels will be evaluated at defined preoperative and postoperative intervals to determine if there is a significant difference in patient-reported outcomes between the techniques. The findings may contribute to clinical decision-making regarding the selection of obturation methods to minimize patient discomfort.
