Brief Summary:
Postoperative pain in endodontic retreatment cases presents a challenge to any endodontist. Tricalcium silicate materials as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and bioceramics have shown favorable periapical tissue reactions and healing when used as part of the root canal filling material. This study was conducted to compare the difference in the postoperative pain when resin cements are used versus bioceramic cements in the obturation of root canals.
Detailed Description:
The Faculty of Dentistry Ain Shams University's Research Ethics Committee reviewed the current proposal for ethical approval. One hundred patients with permanent molar teeth requiring endodontic non-surgical retreatment were treated in this study. Teeth with fractured instruments were excluded. Patient ages ranged from twenty to fifty years, both men and women were treated in the current study. Infants, children, people unable to take decisions, university students, orphans, mentally or physically disabled patients were excluded from the current study.
Preoperative assessment of the degree of the patient's pain was done using the visual analog scale. Fifty teeth were obturated with gutta percha using the epoxy resin-based sealer (AH Plus) as the control group, and in the other fifty bioceramic based cement (Endosequence) was used. All teeth were prepared by the protaper next rotary files (Dentsply Sirona) under copious irrigation with 30ml of 2.6 % sodium hypochlorite throughout the procedure. Ethylamine diamine tetracetic acid (EDTA) 17% was used to remove the smear layer before the obturation commenced. Obturation was done using the cold lateral compaction technique in the resin group and single cone technique in the bioceramic group. Postoperative pain assessment was done for each patient after six hours, twenty-four hours, four days and one week.
