Run by Prime Foundation · NCT07253025 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study will test whether adults who receive a resin-based sealer or a bioceramic sealer during root canal treatment have different amounts of pain in the first 48 hours.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–70 with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis in a single-rooted maxillary or mandibular tooth who are not pregnant, not on analgesic or anti-inflammatory medications, and medically fit are the ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with multi-rooted teeth, immature apices, root resorption, current analgesic/anti-inflammatory use, medical compromise, pregnancy/lactation, or those presenting with a flare-up are unlikely to benefit from this comparison.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
Adults with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis in single-rooted maxillary or mandibular teeth presenting to Peshawar Dental College will be enrolled and allocated to receive either a resin-based or a bioceramic root canal sealer during endodontic treatment. Post-operative pain will be recorded using a 0–10 Visual Analog Scale at 24 and 48 hours, with pain considered present if VAS > 3. The planned sample size is 180 participants, with 90 in each sealer group. Key exclusions include immature apices, root resorption, current analgesic/anti-inflammatory use, pregnancy or lactation, medical compromise, and acute flare-ups.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the results could help dentists choose a sealer that reduces short-term pain after root canal treatment.
How similar studies have gone: Previous small clinical studies have compared resin and bioceramic sealers with mixed results, so evidence on which sealer produces less post-operative pain remains inconclusive.
