Post-obturation pain is one of the primary problems following
root canal treatment. Although in most cases pain does not last
long, but could be a source of embarrassment to the dentist and
annoying for the patient.
This study was conducted to in
vestigate and compare the
incidence of postoperative pain after one-visit root canal
treatment (RCT) on teeth with vital pulps using three different
obturation techniques.
90 cases were assigned into three treatment groups, each group
30 cases(10 anterior, 10 premolar, 10 molars), The canals of all
teeth were prepared using Protaper rotary system and then filled
at the same visit using one of the three obturation techniques
(lateral condensation technique, HEROFILL technique, E&Q
PLUS technique). The postoperative pain was recorded on a
visual analogue scale (VAS) of 0 - 100 after 2 hours, 24 hours,
48 hours and 7 days.
