Comparing post-operative pain from different root canal sealers
The Incidence of Postoperative Pain After Using Different Types of Sealers (A Randomized Clinical Trial)
This study is testing whether using resin-based or silicon-based sealers during root canal treatment causes less pain for patients aged 18-50 with severe tooth issues.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to evaluate and compare the incidence and intensity of post-operative pain experienced by patients after root canal treatment using either resin-based or silicon-based sealers. The study will involve patients aged 18-50 with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis, ensuring they meet specific eligibility criteria regarding their dental and medical conditions. By analyzing the pain levels associated with different sealers, the trial seeks to identify which type may lead to better patient outcomes and reduced discomfort following treatment.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients aged 18-50 with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and normal periapical conditions.
Not a fit: Patients with immature roots, non-restorable teeth, or systemic complications that could affect treatment may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help identify the most effective root canal sealers to minimize post-operative pain for patients.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have explored the impact of different root canal sealers on post-operative pain, suggesting that this approach has potential based on existing literature.
