Correlation Between Postoperative Pain and Apical Extrusion of Different Irrigation Activation Techniques
Egypt40 participantsStarted 2024-02-01
Plain-language summary
The aim of this clinical trial is :
To evaluate effect of different techniques of irrigant activation:
1. LASER activation
2. sonic activation
3. ultrasonic activation
4. passive needle irrigation
On:
1. Postoperative pain in vital teeth (Randomized controlled trial)
2. Amount of apical extrusion (In vitro study) Participants will describe their preoperative pain and postoperative pain level at fixed time interval Research will compare postoperative pain accompanied with different irrigant activation techniques and correlate it to amount of debris extrusion

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This study compared different irrigation activation techniques during root canal treatment — can you explain what 'apical extrusion' means and why it might affect how much pain I have after my procedure?
2Since this trial has already been completed, have the results been published, and do they suggest any particular irrigation technique led to less postoperative pain for patients with irreversible pulpitis like mine?
3Given that this study focused specifically on postoperative pain after root canal treatment, how do you currently decide which irrigation activation technique to use in your practice, and does that choice factor in pain management?
4Could the findings from this kind of research change how my root canal procedure would be performed, or is the technique you'd use on me already considered the best available standard of care?
5Is postoperative pain after root canal treatment something I should be preparing for regardless of which technique is used, and what pain management options would you recommend for my recovery?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
