About this study

Official title: Postoperative Pain Following Irrigation With Endodontic Needle, Sonic and Passive Ultrasonic Techniques: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The aim of this study is to compare the postoperative pain after root canal treatment following irrigation by endodontic needle, sonic and passive ultrasonic irrigation techniques.

Read the detailed description

Different irrigation delivery systems are introduced to the market aiming to improve root canals disinfection. The conventional endodontic needle is commonly used because of its ease in use and good control of needle depth and irrigant volume. However it carries a higher risk of extruding the solution periapically because of positive pressure used in solution delivery.

Passive ultrasonic irrigation is a noncutting irrigation technique that is done with ultrasonically activated files with continuous or intermittent flow of irrigant. It was shown that it is effective in removing remnants of pulp tissue, dentin debris and planktonic bacteria.

The vibringe (Cavex Holland BV, Haarlem, the Netherlands) is an irrigation device that combines manual delivery and sonic activation of the irrigant.

The aim of this study is to compare the postoperative pain after root canal treatment following irrigation by endodontic needle, sonic and passive ultrasonic irrigation techniques.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. postoperative pain measured by numerical rate scale

    Numerical rate scale (NRS) consists of a line graded from 0-10 where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates worst pain, patient will choose the number that describe his pain level.

    Measured: 4 hours after treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing conventional needle irrigation, passive ultrasonic irrigation and sonic irrigation in people with Tooth,Non-vital, run by Cairo University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

postoperative pain measured by numerical rate scale (time frame: 4 hours after treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Sep 2016.
