Evaluation of Postoperative Pain and Clinical Symptoms After Root Canal Treatment with Rotary and Reciprocal File Systems in Children
Project no. 364 · Status: Kapanmış · 2016
Summary
Postoperative pain and swelling are common symptoms of a flare up after root canal treatment. Insufficent instrumentation, extrusion of irrigation solutions and debris, hyperocclusion, preoperative pain and existence of a periapical lesion are the factors effecting postoperative pain after root canal treatments. Aim of this study is to evaluate the postoperative pain and instrumentation time between reciprocal and Ni-Ti rotary files in children ages between 9-12. Study conducted on forty first mandibular molars with the diagnosis of irreversible pulpitis. Patients separeted into two groups and root canal treatments completed with either Reciproc Blue or Protaper NEXT file systems. Time for each system was noted and patients were given a questionnaire which includes Wong Baker visual analog scale for 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment. Questionnaires were collected and postoperative pain was evaluated. Postoperative pain scores were then analyzed with Mann-Whitney U test. Postoperative pain was not significantly different in 6, 24, 48 and 72 hour periods. The canal preparation time were analyzed with student t test. Canal preparation times were significantly shorter in the Reciproc Blue group in comparison with the Protaper NEXT group (p<0.05). In conclusion, shorter treatment time of reciprocal shaping systems was found more beneficial and comfortable in root canal treatments in children.
