About this study

Official title: Assessment of Postoperative Pain After Using 2Shape and Protaper Next Rotary Systems in Patients With Symptomatic Pulpitis in Mandibular Molars:A Randomized Clinical Trial

Pain after endodontic treatment is considered the most disturbing problem facing both the patient and the dentist especially in cases of symptomatic pulpitis as the patient is expecting to relief the pain that already exists.Therefore, this study aims to find a solution for the post-operative pain felt by the patient with symptomatic pulpitis in mandibular molars through comparing post-operative pain following use of 2Shape and Protaper Next rotary systems.

Read the detailed description

Root canal preparation is the most important step in endodontic treatment. For successful treatment, pulp tissue, dentin debris and microorganisms should be completely eradicated from the root canal system.However, it has been reported that all the instrumentation techniques (manual or mechanical) cause debris extrusion into the periradicular tissue resulting in periapical inflammation that causes post-operative pain and flare up.

Instrumentation technique and instrument design were found to be related to the amount of debris extruded which is the main cause of post-operative pain. It has been reported that rotary NiTi systems cause less debris extrusion than manual instrumentation.

Within NiTi systems, instrument design, taper and tip size were found to affect debris extrusion. Therefore, new innovations in the instrument designs are introduced in order to reduce post-operative pain and flare up incidence.

Therefore, this study is established to compare the effect of 2 different rotary systems on postoperative pain in patients with symptomatic pulpitis.

The aim of the present study is to assess the effect of rotary instrumentation using Protaper Next rotary system versus 2Shape rotary system on postoperative pain and the number of analgesics taken by the patient following single visit root canal treatment in mandibular molars with symptomatic pulpitis.

Primary objective:

Comparing the intensity of post-operative pain using Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) immediately after root canal treatment and post-appointment at 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72hours.

Secondary objectives:

  • The need for / and number of analgesic tablets taken within 3 days after end of endodontic treatment.
  • Instrument separation during instrumentation.

What is being measured

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

  1. intensity of postoperative pain assessed by numerical rating scale Immediately after the end of treatment, and at 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours. post-operative pain

    using numerical rating scale ranges between (0-10) where 0 indicates no pain while 10 indicates maximum pain degree

    Measured: 3 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Need for / and number of analgesic tablets taken.

    incidence and number of analgesic tablets will be recorded

    Measured: 3 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 2Shape rotary system in people with Pulpitis, 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 6 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 3 Oct 2018. 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?

intensity of postoperative pain assessed by numerical rating scale Immediately after the end of treatment, and at 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours. post-operative pain (time frame: 3 days). 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 3 Oct 2018.
