Eligibility
Age
18 Years to 65 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The inclusion criteria will involve recruiting capable adult patients (18 to 65 years old) who already have an indication for endodontic treatment in permanent molars, diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis confirmed by a positive response to clinical, electrical sensitivity, and radiographic tests. Individuals participating in this research must provide a contact number (phone, cell phone, or social media username) to facilitate postoperative assessments. If a patient requires endodontic treatment for more than one tooth, the operator will follow the standard protocol; however, such cases will not be included in the study to avoid selection bias in the sample.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients in any stage of pregnancy, those currently taking medication such as analgesics or anti-inflammatories at the time of treatment, immunocompromised individuals, or those with hypersensitivity to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs will not participate in the study. These factors may alter pain perception or interfere with the analysis of post-treatment pain scores. Patients with teeth presenting endodontic complications, such as calcifications, external or internal resorption, partial apex formation, dental perforations, longitudinal or vertical fractures, severe periodontal disease, or those undergoing treatment in multiple sessions, will also be ineligible for participation in this study. These factors can interfere with proper endodontic therapy and, consequently, with postoperative pain. Data from patients who cannot be contacted for postoperative pain assessment for any reason will be excluded.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the occurrence and intensity of post-operative endodontic pain by applying a discrete numeric scale marked from zero (no pain) to 10 cm (maximum pain), in patients participating in the research over a period of 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after endodontic treatment. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find a lower occurrence and intensity of postoperative pain in the intervention group, with a difference of 30% between the groups | — |
