The influence of different NiTi instrumentation techniques on postoperative pain after single‐visit root canal treatment

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of multi‐file rotary (Protaper Universal) and reciprocating single‐file (Reciproc Blue) root canal preparation techniques on the occurrence of postoperative pain in asymptomatic mandibular molar teeth with large periapical lesions in single‐visit root canal tr...

Description
Summary:This study aimed to evaluate the effect of multi‐file rotary (Protaper Universal) and reciprocating single‐file (Reciproc Blue) root canal preparation techniques on the occurrence of postoperative pain in asymptomatic mandibular molar teeth with large periapical lesions in single‐visit root canal treatment (RCT). A hundred and twenty teeth were randomly assigned to two groups: Protaper Universal (PTU) or Reciproc Blue (RB) instruments. Postoperative pain at 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 h and 7 days after obturation was measured. Mann–Whitney U‐test was performed to compare the pain scores between the groups and to assess the relation of pain with patients’ age and gender. Spearman’s rank correlation was utilized to correlate the pain intensity and analgesic intake at different time points. There was no significant difference between the instrumentation techniques regarding postoperative pain at any time points evaluated (P > 0.05). There was a correlation between analgesic intake and intensity of pain (P  0.05).
