About this study

Official title: Incidence Postoperative Pain After Single Visit Versus Two Visit Nonsurgical Endodontic Retreatment

To compare the incidence of post-operative pain after single-visit versus two-visit non-surgical endodontic retreatment.

Read the detailed description

Post treatment failure could be treated by two options including orthograde retreatment and apical surgery . In a previous study, orthograde retreatments presented a success rate of 81 % classified as healed and 93 % as no symptoms and fully functional. In a systematic review, it has also been concluded that endodontic surgery offers more favorable initial success but orthograde retreatment yields to a better long-term outcome . Although early results of single-visit treatments are contradictory ; Completing the treatment in a single appointment reduces the treatment time and cost, decreases micro leakage risk and avoids recontamination of root canals between appointments in multiple-visit treatments . Again, reviewing the literature concerning primary treatment showed that, no significant differences were observed in healing of periapical radiolucency between teeth treated in single-visit and those treated in two-visits. Even, after using calcium hydroxide for four weeks . The presence of a positive bacterial culture at the time of filling did not influence the outcome of treatment .

Thorough online search revealed that, few studies are found concerning post- operative pain after single visit retreatment . The present study is designed to compare the effects of single-visit and two-visit root canal treatments on postoperative pain in retreatment cases. The primary outcome measure of this study is proposed to be whether single-visit root canal retreatment influenced the occurrence of postoperative pain as compared to two-visit treatment.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
group 1 Non-surgical endodontic retreatment in single visitExperimentalSingle visit treatments have gained more popularity. Completing the treatment in a single appointment has many advantages including reduction in treatment time and cost, lower risk of micro leakage and recontamination of root canals between appointments

group 2 Non-surgical endodontic retreatment in Two-visitActive comparatorTwo-visit endodontic treatment with intra-canal medication was traditionally found to be effective in decreasing the number of flare-up in all retreatment cases and in reducing postoperative pain of previously symptomatic teeth

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence and intensity of postoperative

    Evaluate incidence and intensity of postoperative pain at 6,12,24, 48hours , and one week using numerical visual scale (NRS) after each visit endodontic retreatment

    Measured: At one week after each visit

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of analgesic tablets

    Number of analgesic tablets taken by the patient after endodontic retreatment

    Measured: baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Non-surgical endodontic retreatment in single visit in people with Endodontically Treated Teeth, 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 7 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Incidence and intensity of postoperative (time frame: At one week after each visit). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04580862, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
