This randomized clinical study aims to compare postoperative pain in patients after root canal treatments using different root canal filling materials.The root canal pastes that will be tested for postoperative pain in this study have been used worldwide for many years.
Seventy-two patients with single-rooted teeth without pain symptoms but diagnosed with pulpitis and without any previous fillings or prostheses will be randomly divided into three groups according to the root canal sealers. Then the teeth in these groups will be treated with three different root canal sealers. Endodontic treatment will be performed in a single session, following standardized preparation and irrigation protocols, using the warm vertical condensation technique on all teeth.
Patients will be given a Visual Analog Pain Assessment Scale and asked to mark their pain levels between 0 and 10 at 6, 24, 48, 72 hours, and 7 days after root canal treatment. Patients will be called for a check-up at the end of the 7th day, and VAS questionnaires will be collected.
The investigators will be made to determine which root canal sealer causes the least pain.
The null hypothesis of this study was that there would be no difference in post-procedure pain between the groups.
