Turkey (Türkiye)168 participantsStarted 2025-03-15

Plain-language summary

This study aims to investigate the effects of using the Wave One Gold file alone and in combination with different files on postoperative pain in patients with asymptomatic apical periodontitis. The results of the study may provide important insights into the impact of these file systems on postoperative pain. . The main questions it aims to answer are: It will also reveal whether reciprocating files can be used alone or not. Participants will: Go under treatment with different shaping protocols The researchers will shape using only the Wave One gold file in the first group. In the second group, they will first perform coronal shaping with the One Flare file and then complete the final shaping with the Wave One Gold file In the third group, coronal shaping will first be performed with the One Flare, followed by working length shaping with the Wave One Gold glider file, and the final shaping will again be completed with the Wave One file. For sham group Using a #10K-type stainless-steel file, the operator will establish the working length 0.5 mm short of the apex indicated by the apex locator and will confirm it on periapical radiograph. The operator will prepare the glide path using a #15K-type stainless-steel hand file with push-pull motion.On sensing resistance, the file will withdraw. recapitulation was performed with a #10K-type operator then will irrigate the root canals with 2 mL of 5%NaOCl . Then, they will be shaped using WaveOne Gold Glider and WaveOne in reciprocal mode. After the treatment, the patient's pain score will be recorded. They will Visit the clinic three days later Keep avisual analogue scala of their symptoms and than compare different shaping protocols

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.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

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.
