Post-Endodontic Pain after Root Canal Treatment of Symptomatic Teeth with Mtwo and Safe Sider Multiple File Systems: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Journal Title: Journal of Dental Health and Oral Research - Year 2022, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Considering the increasing popularity of rotary files among dental clinicians and the emergence of several types of rotary systems, clinical trials are necessary to compare these systems from various aspects. Objectives: This study compared post-endodontic pain following the use of Mtwo and Safe Sider multiple file system. Methods: A total of 150 maxillary and mandibular molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis were selected. Their root canals were randomly instrumented with hand files, Mtwo and Safe Sider instruments. The severity of postoperative pain was assessed using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours. The data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean postoperative pain score significantly decreased in all three groups over time. The mean pain score at 12 and 24 hours post-treatment was significantly higher in the Safe Sider group compared to the other two groups. At 6, 48 and 72 hours, no significant difference was noted in the severity of pain among the three groups. Conclusions: Postoperative pain is significantly higher at 12 and 24 hours following endodontic treatment with Safe Sider compared to the conventional hand instruments and Mtwo system.
