Abstract
Aim: This study was conducted to compare the incidence of post-obturation pain after single-and multiple-visit root canal treatment (RCT). Materials & Methods: The study was conducted in Umm-Al Qura University Hospital. The selected patients were systemically free of any disease. Offending teeth tender to touch were excluded. The sample size was determined as 40, divided according to number of visits of RCT into two groups, Group I: single visit RCT cases, Group II: cases where RCT was completed in multiple visits. The relevant features and conditions of each case were recorded from the patient’s files in the endodontic chart adjusted for the study Following adequate chemo-mechanical instrumentations and obturation, a visual analogue pain scale was given to each patient to record pain immediately post operative and after 6, 12, 24 hours. Results: Incidence of severe-pain in group I was 85% immediately postoperatively and 80% in group II while 6 hours postoperatively 90% of both groups experienced pain. After 12 hours 75% of group I and 60% of group II experienced pain and after 24 hours postoperatively 55% of group I experienced pain in contrast to 60% in group II Conclusion: Under the limitations of this study it was concluded that Post-obturation pain is likely to occur in the first 24hr and it further reduces as time passes. The intensity of post-obturation pain experienced following single- or multiple-visits RCT were not significantly different
