| Summary: | Objectives: This study evaluated the effect of instrumentation techniques on the
postoperative pain after single-visit root canal treatment. Materials and Methods: Sixty patients having
an indication of endodontic treatment were included. Only single rooted teeth
were selected The patients were
randomly divided into 2 groups. In
group 1; the root canals were instrumented using ProTaper Next instruments with rotational motion, in group
2 TF Adaptive instruments with adaptive motion were used
during instrumentation. Treatments were completed in a single
appointment. Postoperative pain questionnaires were scored by patients using a
four-point pain intensity scale for 12, 24, and 48 hours. Mann Whitney-U,
Friedman and Wilcoxon tests were used for analyzing the final data. Results: The comparison of time intervals between groups demonstrated no
difference between both groups (p>.05). In both groups, the postoperative
pain values of 12h time period were significantly higher than both other
periods, and significant difference was found between 24h and 48h time periods
(p<0.05). The postoperative pain values of 48h time period were
significantly lower than the other two time periods (p<0.05).
Conclusions: Both instrumentation techniques caused
postoperative pain. The pain scores indicated that both techniques caused
limited discomfort associated with slight pain which did not require any
additional treatment and medication. |
