A study testing continous wave compaction in people with Root Canal Obturation, run by CMH Lahore Medical College and Institute of Dentistry at 1 site in Pakistan.
Trial summary
The study involves two groups in which root canal obturation will be performed using different obturation techniques. Group one consists of participants with the single cone cold lateral condensation method, while group two consists of participants with the continuous wave compaction technique.

About this study
Official title: Comparison of Postoperative Pain Using Two Different Obturation Techniques: Single Cone Versus Continuous Wave Compaction
The study involves two groups in which root canal obturation will be performed using different obturation techniques. Group one consists of participants with the single cone cold lateral condensation method, while group two consists of participants with the continuous wave compaction technique. Postoperative pain will be assessed and compared between the two groups.
Read the detailed description
This study aims to compare postoperative pain levels following root canal obturation using two different techniques: the single cone cold lateral condensation method and the continuous wave compaction technique. Participants will be divided into two groups, each receiving one of the two obturation methods. Pain levels will be evaluated at defined preoperative and postoperative intervals to determine if there is a significant difference in patient-reported outcomes between the techniques. The findings may contribute to clinical decision-making regarding the selection of obturation methods to minimize patient discomfort.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
comparison of post operative pain
post operative pain using VISUAL ANALOGUE SCALE (VAS) , two methods of obturation to assess pain after root canal using cold lateral versus heated gutta percha Pre operative pain will be measured on each patient according to visual analogue scale as baseline before intiating the procedure .

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The study involves two groups in which root canal obturation will be performed using different obturation techniques. Group one consists of participants with the single cone cold lateral condensation method, while group two consists of participants with the continuous wave compaction technique. Postoperative pain will be assessed and compared between the two groups.

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?
