About this study

Official title: The Effect of Dental Post Application After Root Canal Treatment on Postoperative Pain in Asymptomatic Teeth.

In this study the effect of dental post application on postoperative dental pain in patients with asymptomatic teeth after a single-appointment root canal treatment will be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the effect of dental post application on postoperative pain intensity level in patients with asymptomatic teeth after a single-appointment root canal treatment. A total of one hundred patients with asymptomatic teeth and with no contradictory medical history who are indicated for non-surgical root canal treatment and application of a dental post at the Endodontic Clinic, Faculty of Dentistry, Istanbul Medipol University, between April and December of 2019 will be included. All of the patients will be recruited from the Istanbul Medipol University Dental Clinics in Istanbul. the patients will be divided in two groups (n=50). Consent will be obtained from all study participants before the treatment. After the root canal treatments are completed in single-visit, in the first groups dental posts will be applied immediately at the same visit and patients will be appointed for pain assessment. In group 2 after the root canal treatment a temporary filling be applied in the access cavity and patients will be appointed for pain assessment. Dental posts will be applied after the pain assessment is completed at the end of 1 week. All treatments will be performed by one endodontist. Postoperative pain intensity will be assessed at 24, 48, and 72 h; 7 days; after the treatment. The teeth will be examined according to postoperative pain intensity levels,

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Group 1: single-visit RCTProcedure or surgery

    Also called 1-visit RCT

    both root canal treatment and post and core restoration of the coronal part of the tooth is completed in single visit prior to postoperative pain evaluation at 24, 48 and 72-h and 7-day follow-up time

  • Group 2: two-visit RCTProcedure or surgery

    Also called 2-visit RCT

    after root canal treatment is completed, postoperative pain evaluation will be conducted in this group at 24, 48 and 72-h and 7-day follow-up time. post-core application will be completed at the seventh day after postoperative pain evaluation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from Baseline in Postoperative Pain after post and core application in root canal traeted teeth

    The primary outcome measure of the study is to assess if the application of post and core to restore coronal part of root canal treated teeth may have an additive effect on postoperative pain intensity. Postoperative pain is recorded using vertical Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 24, 48, and 72-h and 7-day follow-up time by one operator. Patients are asked to mark their pain level on a vertical line with the end points "No pain" and "Worst possible pain". The distance of the marked point to "no pain" end point is measured to calculated pain intensity level. The longer the distance the more the pain intensity level is.

    Measured: 24, 48, and 72 hours; 7 days
