What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to assess how various obturation techniques affect postoperative pain in patients undergoing single-visit root canal treatment. Participants aged 18-60 with no systemic diseases will be randomly assigned to receive treatment using either a bioceramic sealer or AH Plus sealer with different techniques: single cone, lateral condensation, or warm vertical compaction. The study seeks to determine which technique results in the least amount of pain following the procedure.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-60 with asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis in a molar tooth and no systemic diseases.
Not a fit: Patients with immature root apexes, root fractures, periodontal disease, or those who have taken analgesics or antibiotics prior to treatment may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help identify the most effective obturation technique to minimize pain after root canal treatments.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have explored various obturation techniques, but this specific comparison with bioceramic sealers is relatively novel.
